Does anyone know how to access the ignition switch in 958, in order to replace it with a new one? I tried bending the plastics off but nothing wants to come off.

I broke a plastic piece that holds the key inside, can't turn the ignition on without it....

Here's the manual: https://cardiagn.com/2010-2016-porsc...ring-diagrams/

Thanks @dollarlongnecks ,

do you know where can I find instructions on removing these panels? And if I need to unplug the battery before disconnecting the switch?

You should be able to find those sections at that link as well, but those are pretty easy to remove with just a few screws.

You may want to consider a subscription to ALLDataDIY.com - it's cheap and very useful. I know they have a section on removing the ignition switch.

Thanks all, unfortunately there is no section for taking the panels off, but I managed to replace it myself. I pried the side panel off, unscrewed the vent and was able to pry the small ignition panel off. Then for the switch itself I was able to rotate the front cap that was holding it using a flat screwdriver, unplug it from behind and bend the bottom panels off to take it out. Didn't have to unplug the battery either.
