Ignition switch replacement

Your problem may not be the electrical portion of the ignition switch... this is my experience.
Steering locking mechanism problem - how I resolved it.

Glad you have decided to tackle it -- You'll find this is very doable. The time I replaced mine, I didn't know about the red thread paint. I also wrote up in a post at the time that a guy suggested wrapping the handle of my small screwdriver with tape so I could get more torque. Simple idea, worked like a charm. Like most projects on the Porsche, they take longer than they should, but when you finish them you are better equipped to handle the next issue. Keep the Indy for the tough jobs, this is a perfect starter job to tackle. Best of luck with it!
