I read that it might be due to a flat battery - car is running normally and is used every other day.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

I have had this happen today. Its a 987.1 2005 plate I cannot release the ignition key from the car. The car is driving and running normally otherwise. I tried to find some information about what it might be. I read that it might be due to a flat battery - car is running normally and is used every other day. I have uploaded a video of the problem. https://youtu.be/E29xuIOg5ss "> https://youtu.be/E29xuIOg5ss " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="644" height="390"> So the video shows move selector to P position - trying that many times and N position This doesnt help. Was left with no option to put the rod in the fuse box through the release hole here - which then released the key and allowed me to lock and arm the alarm as per normal. Now to release the key everytime I need to release via this way above... Does anyone have any suggestions ?

POST 2Original post

Low voltage? Could there be corrosion behind the switch?

POST 3Original post

Open the fuse box which is on the left of the pedals, you will find a tool for releasing the key in the fuse box cover itself. Which is basically a rod to be inserted in the key switch to release. Maybe it's due to low battery or stuck for some other reason.

POST 4Original post

Sorry not sure how to get the youtube link to work https://youtu.be/E29xuIOg5ss heres the video link again

POST 5Original post

yup at the moment - I have a small screwdriver that I use to release the key from the ignition but im trying to figure out if i need to replace the ignition barrel or the ignition switch

POST 6Original post

It could also be the switch on the shifter that tells the car it's in Neutral or Park.

POST 8Original post

Sounds to me like a reason to keep driving . . .

POST 9Original post

I have the same issue here. What is the solution for this problem. I have a Cayman 987.1 2008

POST 10Original post

I still have this problem. Is there anyone with a solution?

POST 11Original post

Probably a failing lock cylinder. You'll need to take it to a good Porsche shop (indie or dealer). Good luck. Joe Henley

POST 12Original post

It might be a sign of a weak battery . Try hooking up a charger or tender to see if that helps. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk
