Hello all,

New to the forum but I really need your help, as this is my daily driver!

2000 Porsche Boxster Auto Trans

My car has intermittently not started throughout the last few months. Some days no issues, others I have issues getting it started on the first try. Now it will not start at all!

What happens:
I turn the key first and second click everything is normal, third click to attempt to turn car on, nothing happens. No clicking indicating a dead battery, just seems like no power is going to the starter. Usually I played with shifter and eventually I can get the gar started but that no longer works.

What Ive looked at and tried:

Ignition switch replaced (electric part)
Battery has 12v
Alarm unit removed from under driver seat ( Fuse intact and connections look normal) also ground wire removed, wire brushed and reattached.
All fuses by kick panel are good including E1 (No fuses in rear trunk)

At a loss here. Ive looked up everything possible on the issue and couldn't come to a solution! PLEASE HELP! I NEED TO GET TO WORK TOMORROW!
