Okay Boxster Wrenchers...ignition ?

Chances are it's just the switch, if you search on here there's a post every couple of days that comes down to 'replace your ignition switch'!

The part's cheap (make sure you get the 4B0-905-849 one, not the A version, for your early car) and changing it is pretty easy with just a small screwdriver required...except for having to cram yourself into the footwell head first and upside-down to reach it!

Check this thread for some suggestions... http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/46411-ignition-switch-replacement-holy-crap.html

Posted about this today. Check your switch first to see if you need the "A" or "B" A lot of parts houses and the internet have the early version wrong. I pulled mine last night, took me 20 minutes. The key was using a SMALL and SHORT screwdriver. I then wrapped layers and layers of tape on the shaft of the screwdriver for leverage, i.e makeshift handle.
