ignition switch on older boxsters

[Rolando]

I need a new ignition switch for my Boxster 97 (the one that connects at the bottom of the lock cylinder). When I called dealer to get the part (the one that I bought on-line lasted only a month or so) I was told that the switch was changed in these cars so they only sell a new system that includes the lock cylinder. Does anybody know if this part was recalled? (this way I will not have to pay for the whole thing <_< )

Thanks

This is what your dealer was telling you.

There was a recall in 1999 for the switch on a model year 1997. I think it was W03. Any dealer can run your VIN and see if it was subject to the recall and if the switch was replaced. Very few 1997s were subject to the recall, something like just 3,000 cars.

What was the part number of the switch you purchased recently?

I bought it on :parts-on-line.net part #4A0905849B (CRP brand). Cheap in all sense of the word :(
