Ignition switch

[Les Huckins <jhuckins@xxxx>]

Both of my DMC12s had the same basic problem, when inserting the key
there was resistance, had to turn the key over a time or two, sometimes
wiggle it a little to get it to work. My basic remedy for key cylinders
is WD-40, an excellent penetrant and lubricant. Powdered graphite has
never worked for me, it's also a conductor (I'm not going to say it can
migrate and take out your O2 sensor but it is worthless in lock cylinder
applications) on my latest one I also applied a film of silicone grease
(that I mentioned a few posts back) on the key, worked it in and out a
few times and it's like new.
