Starter986,

My apologies for not listing my car when I posted for the first time on this thread. I have a 2000 Boxster S with 57,000 miles.

I was having issues with my ignition switch and replaced it with a part from Pelican Parts.

Since I replaced the ignition switch, the issue is when I lift the door handle on the driverside door, the interior lights come on, and it starts dinging like the key is in the ignition, but it's not. When I put the key in, it stops.

I spoke with a local mechanic who has dealt with this issue before, and his suggestion was to remove the newly installed ignition switch and reseat it. Not an easy task for a big guy. The ignition switch was reseated. I'm happy to say all systems are working properly.
