This thread began almost a month ago. Since then, OP has apologized and we've all made up with a big group hug. No sense in picking at old wounds. We're all good here. I just now received an infraction for strirring up the OP weeks ago...

LOL. You mean all hell could break loose in this sub forum and they won't notice for 3 weeks? Why bother when it worked itself out on it's own?

Remember, traffic is supposedly very low in the lowly 987...er cayman.. boxster S?... or was it 981...forum. This includes moderator activity.

Nonetheless, rules are rules. I'll take my punishment.

It sounds a lot like double-secret probation...

I read the rules of posting etiquette years ago, but didn't remember the points system being defined.

It looks like it was done in a 10-24-2010 post.

Note that at the discretion of the mod, an infraction may carry no points, rather just a warning.

Infraction points expire as shown below. If someone accumulates 10 points (or more) there is an automatic vacation for three days. Note THREE DAYS as opposed to forever. Hope this answers your questions.

Best,

Your title says you're a Lifetime Rennlist Member and Moderator. It doesn't seem like anyone is going to give you a vacation.

Michaelscain!
It seems sure that they don't understand what your situation is.
I have the same problem and my mechanic is working on it right now.
When the result comes, I'll let you know.
My mechanic checked all the lines from ignition and gear shift box, but he didn't find the solution.
Espere!

I'm pretty sure if he hasn't figured it out in the last 3 1/2 years he's given up by now

I have found the tool in the fuse box which released the key, so thats good, and also the car starts every time, no problem.

But when ever i have to take the key out, its stuck and will not release.

How do i get the car to release the key?

Thanks for any help?

Michael

Michaelscain,

Did you find an answer to your stuck key?
I have the same Porsche 05 Boxster S.
Did not drive the car for two weeks and the battery completely dead. New Battery and ignition switch replaced. Key is always stuck after starting the car.

Thanks!

sangdo,
Any resolution? I replaced battery, new ignition switch and resolved and cleared all my fault codes with Durametric. But key is still stuck after starting the car.
Thanks!
