Well, my ignition switch finally gave out. I've read all the threads on here about it and I figure it's the $12 ignition switch part. The key gets stuck coming out and is a pain to get back in. It's mushy and I have to turn it back counter-clockwise after I start the car to get the lights and A/C to come on. I was looking on Pelican parts and was wondering which one to get. I have a 2000 C4. I see that they have: Ignition Switch, Electrical Portion Only (NOTE: Only for cars with an ORIGINAL lock assembly), 996 Carrera 2/4 (1999-03), 996 Turbo (2001-03) part number 4A0-905-849-B-M5352 by JL Ignition Switch, Electrical Portion Only, LATE-STYLE (NOTE: Only for cars models with LATE-STYLE lock assembly #996-347-017-07), 996 Carrera/Carrera 4 (1999-03), Carrera/Carrera 4 (2004-05), 996 Turbo (2001-03), 996 Turbo (2004-05) part number 4B0-905-849-M100 by Porsche Ignition Switch, Electrical Portion Only, LATE-STYLE (NOTE: Only for cars models with LATE-STYLE lock assembly #996-347-017-07), 996 Carrera/Carrera 4 (1999-03), Carrera/Carrera 4 (2004-05), 996 Turbo (2001-03), 996 Turbo (2004-05) part number 4B0-905-849-M5061 by Meistersatz As far as I know I have the orginal lock assembly, but all 3 of them say they'll work on a 2000, and I thought only post 2004 cars had the late style. I dont know which one to pick, lol. Any help please??
