Monday Maintenance Tip: Lighten Up Your Keychain
Does your car key share a chain with a dozen or more other keys? That’s a
pretty heavy load hanging off the car key when it’s in the ignition. The weight, combined with bouncing while you
drive, can wear out the tumblers inside the ignition and eventually lead to
ignition switch failure. To add years of
service to your ignition switch, purchase a lightweight key chain that allows
you to separate your ignition key from the others. Drive with only the ignition
key in your ignition. If your ignition key “sticks” when you try to turn on the
car, it’s a warning that your ignition switch is about to fail. Replace it
before you get stranded.
