My key got stuck in the ignition and turning left or right gives me no response. I CANNOT remove the key from the ignition !

My GT2 battery is empty becuse it is been parked for a while with out driving.


So, what exactly should I do to fix that issue?
Anyone had that issue before?

can you turn it all the way counter-clockwise?

put some energy into the battery and see if it'll release...if it doesn't it may need the replacement switch,,,, ignition switch does weird thing

Don't try to jam it out. The key lock is electronic. The car requires some battery power to release the key. There is a procedure in the manual on how to free the hood and key when the battery is flat.

agree is the battery -- happened to me also

You can give the car enough juice to pop the hood/release the key from ignition by opening the fuse box and there is a terminal you can pull out and attach the positive end of a jumper cable to.

trickle charge thru cigarette lighter

This never happens to gt3s. Only gt2s. Something with the turbo...

Look at the manual, it gives you instructions how to pop the hood open so that you can access the battery.

I have this in my car, it is very useful and can jump start a dead battery: https://www.cobra.com/products/porta...mpack-cpp-8000

I'm not sure a trickle charger can recharge a completely dead battery.

You may be on to something... It happened on my turbo too...

It has happened to a 997.2 GT3RS. I was able to get the hood opened by applying power to the jumper in the fuse box and then get the system back operating.

think he was joking
can happen to any 986/996/987/997

As has been said, pop the bonnet open with the fuse box connector and then charge battery. The key will release instantly.

Pretty sure it applies to gt3's, only difference is everything happens far quicker in a GT2.

There is a small cover around the key lock. Remove the cover and the use a pen or something similar and you can remove the key. Even if the battery is dead.
