My workorder usually shows all parts and materials used - even warranty stuff, but this one just said something generic like "New starter interlock switch" or whatever.

Unfortunately FedEx dropped the ball and the part didn't arrive until the shop was closing on a Friday - so I ended up loosing use of my car for a total of 4 days over a 5 minute job.

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.

POST 1Original post

Occasionally when starting, I have the clutch all the way down, and the starter won't engage. I hasn't to remove the key and start over. Anyone else experience this?

POST 2Original post

Take a look at this thread: http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxster-problems-complaints/21557-starting-problem.html

POST 3Original post

Yes that thread shows it, i have the same problem, $20 part and five minutes of my time, I'm sure it will be fine Bob James

POST 4Original post

Had mine replaced for the second time yesterday. Dealer assures me it is a re-designed switch. Given the high rate of failure , lets hope so.

POST 5Original post

Does your work-order have the new part number? I had mine replaced a couple months ago - the dealer said they were told not to use the old switch - and I guess the new ones were not available in large numbers at that time .... so PCNA was only sending them out on a limited basis. Once the shop conducted a battery of tests and documented my car's condition, PCNA was to FedEx the new part overnight to my dealer. Unfortunately FedEx dropped the ball and the part didn't arrive until the shop was closing on a Friday - so I ended up loosing use of my car for a total of 4 days over a 5 minute job. Anyway, the SA said the part was definitley a re-design - but they didn't have a part-number or invoice from PCNA. It came in a generic box with no identification. I got the impression that it was a field trial or prototype. My workorder usually shows all parts and materials used - even warranty stuff, but this one just said something generic like "New starter interlock switch" or whatever. They also billed PCNA for a good amount of diagnostic time. So far, it works great. Even when new, I always used to have a slight delay before the started energized. And the clutch position was always critical. Out of habit, I always used to mash the petal to the floor. With the new part, I don't notice these issues - seems to work like it should.

POST 7Original post

Sounds like it's real and not my imagination. Thanks for the input. I'll have the dealer check it out the next time it's in.

POST 9Original post

Replacing clutch lockout switch I replaced the start-lockout switch on my 09 987.2. It's about a 10 minute job once you know/see where the switch is. The screw on mine is a T10 torx. I just unplugged the two leads and then the screw. The screw head is a little hard to get to - there's very little space between it and the left hand footwell wall. The old switch had the same number as the new.
