Question on Boxster Ignition Switch

Wayne,
I am replacing the ignition cylinder / steering lock assembly. In your tech section to do this, you must remove the the nut that fastens the lock assembly to the steering column. Seems near impossible without removing the instrument cluster! Is that right, must I remove the cluster? Once I get it out, should I send a photo to make certain I get the right switch? Thanks, Rick

If you mean the procedure in Figure 3, then yes, you need to remove the dash to access that area. If you are only updating / replacing the electrical portion, you should be able to get it out of the assembly / tumbler without having to remove the entire assembly.
