HELP! NON STARTER

[jeet]

When i try to start my porsche cayenne 2007, i turn the key and it reads 'press break pedal' (i press the break pedal and try to turn the key) and theres no ignition, not turning over, no noise nothing! anybody please help with advice. I think the obvious thing is there maybe a connection e.g. a 'break pedal switch' which connects the break pedal to ignition? is there a such thing? or is there any other connection which may have been broken? please help!!!

In the newer cars, especially push button ignitions, there is a connection between the brake pedal and starter electronics. Have you tried shifting into neutral or shaking the steering wheel a bit to see if you can coax it into starting?

The battery is the first thing to check, any other odd electrical going ons? Are you not still under warranty?

Can you post the exact vehicle data: Cayenne V6 - V8 - Turbo and MY please, its easier for the members to help you out. MY 2007 doesn't exist. Thanks.

The "brake pedal switch" in your car is build in the ABS unit, a PIWIS tester is needed to read the right fault code first. Could be a faulty switch or wiring problem, i would contact the dealer since the car is still under 2 years warranty.

I had exactly this problem 2 weeks ago. The DME module went bad. Towed it to the service agent, replaced it, it works fine now
