I think it is just the nature of the part to fail from time to time. If you go to a dealership they will most likely want to replace the whole lock assembly which uses an updated electrical switch portion (for major $$$ probably). The original switch isn't even available as a Porsche part # anymore and you have to get it aftermarket.

I am always gentle with mine and have only 2 house keys on the key ring with it; some folks have none because they want no extra weight hanging.

I think mine failed this time because I muscled it too hard one time by mistake.

If I had to change it again it would go much faster. Don't be afraid. This is the first car I have ever worked on and this forum helped me lots.
