I just bought a 99 boxster. The key will not go in the switch (fortunately in the driveway). the car also had the problems with the dash lights not turning off untill I locked the door, the interior lights don't work, and the key buttins dont lock or unlock the doors.

I have done some looking around and the electrical part of ignition switch seems to be the problem with the dash lights but what about the key not going in the key hole. Would this be the mechanical part?

I have the electrical part and have been under the dash ..errrr. Any good ideas on breaking the locktite seal on those little screws?
