| Key problem? JM-Stamford,CT - Tuesday, 31 December, 2013, at 12:27:13 pm |
In recent weeks, I have been having an issue with the car. Not sure if it is a problem or what.
I drive into the driveway (or wherever) turn the car off and remove the key. The radio stays on. Usually it is, say, ten seconds and I hear a clunk in the key area and the radio goes off.
During this time, I cannot re-insert the key.
Today, this process took several minutes. I assume that has a lot to do with the cold weather.
So OK - it this anything I need to take care of? Is it simple lube? Or do I have to start looking at replacing ignition parts?
Thanks in advance. Happy New Year all.
