Ignition switch problems, need advice/ help

[97 Boxster]

Thanks to all for the information. Tonight my wife had to run and errand in my car and when she turned the key on it didnt start. So she turned it off and couldnt get the key out. I tried and tried and no luck. I remembered all this talk about ignition switches from a few years ago before I bought my car and looked up the resource again.

Great job on the description of this project. I have to say that once I was down on my back it wasnt too uncomfortable but getting in there and getting out was the hard part.

The best part of all this was about a year ago I bought the ignition switch in case it needed replacing and tonight I put it to use.

Car is working great again and on a scale from 1-10 for me this was a 3 just because of the getting in and out of the car. Tonight I wish I had arms as short as this guy :dance: as it would have been much easier.

Happy New Year to all.
