Ignition switch/Steering lock question
 

Hey,

I think my Boxster´s ignition switch is broken. It´s very tough to turn to key and difficult to put the key in to ignition switch. And when i take the key, steering lock won´t lock. If i change mechanical and electrical parts, can i still use my old key??? Or is it possible to clean parts and get it work?

Thx for advises.

Just change the electrical part. Common problem with ignition switch.

Okey I will start with electrical part. -> garage:dance:

just did mine last week -- you will need to cut down a small screw driver (no longer than 3 inches on a small blade screwdriver) to access the 2 set screws -- hardest part of the job ...make sure you get the right part -- there is an "A" and "B" version -- original 986 was a black "4A0 905 849B" later replaced with a white "4B0 905 849B" version -- they are not interchangeable.

I know because I bought the wrong one the first time --- I still have it by the way if you need the black "4A0 905 849B"

Problem solved and parts changed. Now it´s working perfectly. The part cost 20 euros and took like 4 hours to open screws!!!
