Hi. Im new here. I sold my Acura NSX and bought a 2002 Boxster in January. I have a consistant repeating problem that I'm looking for some help. I looked through the last 5 pages of this forum and didn't find any ideas.

Occasionally (about three times a week)... When I unlock the door, sit down, and turn the ignition key the dashlights come on (it has 12 volts), but it does not crank the starter. Just sits with the key in start position. The clutch is on the floor, the position of the shifter handle makes no difference.

I think this might be a problem with the alarm cutoff because if I wait for 3 minutes or get out and lock the door, then unlock and try again... it starts normally.

Anyone have some advice?
Thanks!!!! :dance:
