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

Hello, my key is a bit sticky to remove and insert, you have to jiggle the steering wheel sometimes to get it in our out. It will start and stop the engine. My problem is, when I remove the key (with it in the farthest left positions possible) the power to the car/dashboard stays engaged and the chime just keeps chiming. The few digital number displays on the gauge cluster, like mileage, will stay on until the battery runs out. When trying to lock with the keyfob it won't because it thinks the car is still engaged. I'm going to start with the ignition switch, but is there something else I should look at? Thanks!

I would try lubricating it first. I seem to remember on my boxster sometimes pulling the key out and not hearing that click. Like it was gummed up. Switch is pretty cheap and easy to do.

Thanks. It was leaving a �pin� inside the tumbler up. I had to use a ice pick to push it down.
