2004 986 Boxster - When I turn ignition switch all dash lights come on but no noise of of starter trying to crank.

I figured it is either the clutch safety switch or the ignition electrical switch . I have seen great post on replacing both. I am fairly handy but having a devil of a time getting under dash to gain access.

Is there any trick to this .

Would removing the front seat help me ?

For those that have done it any advice would be appreciative

Remember "be kind to the elderly" LOL

Thanks in advance for your help gang

There is a starter relay in one of the relay panels in the rear trunk.
I would check or replace it with a known good relay first.
They are a very common relay cost 7-10 bucks at most auto parts stores.

As to your clutch switch do you have a grand child or younger person that could assist you? Getting in there even with the seat removed is still tight.
Also removing the seat "can" lead to problems with the airbag "fault warning" if you turn on the ignition with the seat removed.
