I just tried to turn on my Audi and the key turned, all the electronics turned on, but the engine did not start. I then tried to turn it off to try again, but the car would not turn off, the radio remained on, the air, and the intruments. No matter what I did, whether the key is in or out, the electronics will not shut off and the engine will not turn over. I disconnected the battery since it was to only way I could spare my battery from dieing. Anyone had this problem? What should i do?

 

I had an old Porsche 944 that would do stuff like that it was the ignition switch I dunno if thats the case with yours but i'd check there.

 

I would have to agree. I would start with ign switch.

 

Its the ignition switch.

 

ha, my brothers 924 was screwy too. the key had to be in JUST the right spot, or all the lights would turn off. Hitting a bump in the road at 65mph at night has never been so alarming.


anyway, yeah, ignition switch.

 

haha yea the joys of old porsches i miss mine in the worst way though
