next step is to replace the electrical switch part of the ignition lock assembly. It's a quick job once you contort yourself to lay on your back in the driver's side footwell.
Click on the word here in my post above and it will take you to Mike Focke's Boxster page w/ instructions and p/n needed. It's only a
$9.11 part plus ship from ************************************************************. You can also check local VW/Audi dealers (shouldn't be more than $35-40 there). Most P-car dealers will try to s/tell you on replacing the whole ignition lock a$$embly...
In the mean time, until you get the switch replaced, you need to be very careful the battery doesn't die on you. With a bad switch, the cars electrical components tend to stay active and w/o support from the alternator they quickly drain the battery. Most people will just disconnect the - terminal each time they shut the car off for more than 30min to prevent.
Good luck
