Turning key in ignition has no effect, dash doesn't change, radio doesn't come on, climate control doesn't come on - nothing.

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 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Cayman GTS 981. Went to start car a couple of days back, unlocks fine with remote and dash lights up with 'Cayman' logo on right screen. Turning key in ignition has no effect, dash doesn't change, radio doesn't come on, climate control doesn't come on - nothing. Had RAC out today, checked battery, fuses etc - all seem fine. Car now bricked and stuck in park with handbrake on! Wonder if anyone had similar - or any ideas? Maybe ignition switch?

POST 2Original post

Should come up with a message, but have you checked the fob battery or used the spare? Friends Audi wouldn’t start even with a booster and this was the cause.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It was the ignition switch, all working again now. Might be useful if anyone else has a similar issue in future.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
