Thanks - do you know if just the coil part can be replaced or do I have to replace the entire lock cylinder?

If that's the case, it would be easy to test with an ohm meter.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a no-start problem that is traced down to either the ignition lock cylinder or the transducer that reads the key RFID pill. Anyone know how to bench test the key lock cylinder? It only has two wires going to it, so I was wondering if all it does is close the circuit to the transducer so the transducer could then read the RFID pill in the key? If that's the case, it would be easy to test with an ohm meter. Thanks for any advice and Happy Fathers Day to all the other fathers out there.

POST 2Original post

There is a signal transformer and the coil .I think you are looking at the coil which has two wires -there is a good chance you need the signal transformer

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So you're saying there is a coil within the plastic piece that is part of the lock cylinder and surrounds the key opening? I was thinking (hoping) it was a simple switch, and that turning the key closed a circuit.

POST 4Original post

Unfortunately it is not that simple .If it were me I would get both the signal transformer and the coil and be done with it .By Porsche standards they are not expensive parts .

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks - do you know if just the coil part can be replaced or do I have to replace the entire lock cylinder?
