Ignition problems - replaced ignitions switch - electrics still don't work
Used the site to successfully replace a broken ignition switch. However the a/c, wipes and headlights still don't work. The ignition works fine now but the electrics have not come back. Any suggestions? Thanks.

yes they do. In fact before the ignition switch went, the first thing I noticed was the a/c low beam and wipers did not work. Then the key became difficult to insert. This all happened in the same evening, about two days after I left the car at a new shop to do a simple state inspection.

Sounds like you still have an ignition switch (or possibly wiring) problem. The "flash to pass" high-beam function indicates that your stalk is still functioning. Flash to pass works with the ignition switched off, so it seems your accessories are still not getting power. 4A0905849B is the correct switch if your car is a 2003 or earlier 996, and it still has the original mechanical portion of the switch. If you have a 2004+ car, or if the mechanical portion has been replaced to the updated part (many have been done under warranty), you need 4B0905849.

Although as I reread your suggestion perhaps mine was upgraded under warranty in which case I should perhaps try installing the updated part to see if that works. What do you think? It's a pain but probably a whole lot quicker to do the install the second time.
