Ignition switch - How long have I got?
Tonight I decided to take my daughter to dance in the 88. When it was over we got in the car and the key would not turn at all. My worst fear - broke down and my 5 year old with me!! Called the wife and had her bring me a can of WD40 and the yellow pages. If the WD40 wouldn’t do it - I could then call a flatbed. I shot it with WD40 and couldn’t get it to work!!! Bummer - had to call a tow truck for a perfectly good running 911!!!! Well after I called the tow, I frantically kept trying and finally it turned! WHEW!! I was able to call off the tow and save $75. It seems to be OK now but I know this will come back again.
Question - how long before total failure?? What’s the best approach – re-key the new ignition to match the doors or have the doors re-keyed?
Your comments are appreciated.
