When you sit down in your vintage Porsche to go for a drive, you expect it to respond to your key automatically. So, it can be surprising when that doesn’t happen. That’s exactly what might occur to any Porsche owner, whose car is experiencing an ignition lock failure. Unfortunately, this is a relatively common problem for Porsche vehicles. Let’s discuss indications that signal the ignition lock in your car is failing and what to do when it happens.
The function of the Porsche’s ignition lock is to control the starting of the car’s engine. It is located on the right side of the steering wheel, and is where you insert your key to start the vehicle. If it isn’t functioning properly, you will not be able to use any of the operations of the ignition, which isn’t just turning on the engine.
As you may know, depending on how much you turn the key, you can turn on different parts of the car, from simply starting a few of the simpler electrical components of the car to turning on the engine if you turn it all the way. A failing ignition lock will prevent you from doing any of these things if you allow the problem to continue for too long.
Luckily, there are generally a few warning signs that you’ll notice before the problem becomes so bad that the car cannot turn on at all. Here are the most common signs to watch for:
