2007 Porsche 911 Carrera S. Key will not come out of ignition. Originally did this occasionally, but got worse and worse until I had to regularly use the “rescue pick” to remove the key., Battery is fine, voltage is fine. Warning that car must be in “P”, even though it is already in “P”. Replaced the ignition switch-no change. Disconnected shift linkage at shifter, moved shifter in several positions. No change. PRNDL lights on dash illuminate properly. Checked shift cable- moves fine, not stuck, no binding. Transmission shifts fine too. Removed switch from the side of the shifter (996 613 212) and carefully removed the cover. The contacts were clean and looked fine. However, where the connector was soldered to the circuit board looked like it had two bad solder joints. I re-soldered all of the connector pins on the board, re-assembled & installed, it works perfectly!!
