Electrical Ignition Switch Replacement - Right Tool Found
 
hey guys,

i replaced the electrical portion of my ignition switch this weekend and i found the perfect mini screwdriver set at sears for the job.

seems like finding the right screwdriver to use is half of the battle with this installation.

here is a link to what i purchased for $3.99:

Sears.com

i thought that they would be small enough, but the flathead required some slight modification with a hacksaw...

once cut, the screw driver is the perfect size.

hope that this will help others who struggle with this common problem. :D

You should post this on the Porsche tools thread!

I bought a jewelers set for $1 at a Dollar General store and took a hacksaw to one of the drivers in the set. it does make all the difference in the world in doing this job....along with removing the left side vent for access!
