Hello all.
I have a 2006 Cayman S manual with 96k miles. I recently went to start my car and the battery was drained. I figured it would be time for a new one, the old was some Interstate battery. After installation of the new Duralast Gold battery, the car will not start. The car still unlocks and the system recognizes that it is key 2. About a month ago I replaced the ignition switch and starter, so I don't believe it could be those. Just last night, I switched out for the old ignition switch to try to troubleshoot, but still the same symptoms. Taking the seat out and examining the immobilizer, there didn't appear to be any damage. (Is there a safe way to open the immobilizer box?) So, quick break down, let me know if you need more info,
Key in, recognizes that it is key 2.
Turn to key position 1, nothing
Turn to key position 2, nothing, can't read oil or any other driver info
Turn to 3, then try positions 1 & 2, nothing
Clutch micro switch has been tested
I do not have any other keys to try. Does the dealership need the car present to make another key?
The symptoms are almost identical to another member Sixer

Thanks, let me know if there are some details missing.
Same thing happened to my 2009 Cayman S. Check the clutch switch. The switch that identifies the clutch being engaged prior to starting the engine.
Hello. Have you tried holding the key fast against the starting position for at least 20 seconds?
That overrode an issue I had with my '06 CS.
Keep us posted on result...
Clutch switch has already been checked.
Holding the key in the start position for 20 seconds did not do it. Same result
hi. i don't know if you are still around but i wanted to ask what ever happened with your car? i have a click no crank issue with mine and after replacing the starter come to realize its still not cranking.
