Porsche 914 ignition switch typically cost between $6.49 and $59.99.
The Porsche 914 ignition switch is a component used in the car's electrical system to start the engine. It is typically located on the steering column or dashboard and allows the driver to turn the key to different positions, such as Off, On, and Start. When the key is turned to the Start position, it activates the starter motor, which cranks the engine and initiates the combustion process. The ignition switch also controls power distribution to various electrical components in the vehicle, such as lights and accessories.
Signs of a Faulty Porsche 914 Ignition Switch
The most common signs of a faulty Porsche 914 ignition switch are:
- Difficulty in starting the vehicle: If you experience problems when trying to start your Porsche 914, such as the engine not turning over or intermittent starting issues, it could be a sign of a faulty ignition switch.
- Engine stalling or cutting out: A malfunctioning ignition switch may cause your engine to unexpectedly stall or cut out while driving, potentially leaving you stranded. This can happen if the electrical connection within the switch is faulty.
- Electrical issues: Faulty ignition switches can result in various electrical problems, such as flickering dashboard lights, intermittent power loss to certain components (e.g., radio, power windows), or issues with accessories not functioning properly.
- Key getting stuck: If you struggle to remove the key from the ignition or it gets stuck, it could indicate a problem with the ignition switch mechanism or internal components.
- Loss of power to ignition system: In some cases, a faulty ignition switch can lead to a complete loss of power to the ignition system, resulting in no power to the spark plugs and preventing the engine from starting or running.
- Ignition switch feels loose or wobbly: If there is excessive play or a loose feeling when inserting and turning the key in the ignition switch, it may indicate wear or damage to the switch internals.
If you notice any of these signs, it is recommended to have your Porsche 914 inspected by a qualified technician or mechanic to diagnose and resolve the ignition switch issue.

However, on average, a well-maintained ignition switch can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years before showing signs of wear or requiring replacement. It's important to keep in mind that individual experiences may differ, and regular inspection and maintenance can help prolong the lifespan of the ignition switch.
