Help! I've disconnected the ignition switch and I am trying to replace the burnt out switch. I can't see the screw heads to unscrew it and I am guessing they are flatheads. The air duct is partially in the way so a short stubby screwdriver is necessary. Can you please advise me what screwdriver to purchase? (1/8" flathead? Thanks ---

oops sorry ..this post belongs in another section- - Loren please delete this post (I'm a newbie!)

[Nevermind, for some reason I thought that thread was in the boxster section. I see now I'm wrong. You can ignore this post.]

Loren (or any other helpful soul),

Looks like this thread is pertaining to boxsters - does the 996 use the same switch module? Or is it a different part.

My '00 911 is having the same symptoms as described in this thread. So I wedged myself under the dash (ouch, I'm not as young as I used to be), removed the air duct and looked at my switch. I'm not sure its the same - mainly the color is different, mine is purple instead of the black shown in the picture.

BTW, the air duct also seems to be a royal PITA to get back into place. I think the trick is to put the small side on first.

Many thanks,

Von

Have a look at this  thread
