wet key
by user429 - 7/31/08 4:37 AMIt is impossible for me to open my locked driver's-side door in the rain without getting my key wet. My question is this: If I put my wet key in my ignition in order to start the car, will it cause a short or do any damage to my car? Thank you for your response. user429

Nothing to worry about
by Willy - 8/12/08 7:23 PM In reply to: wet key by user429It shouldn't be a problem as the key assy. is pretty much a mechanical one for the most part. The electrical contacts may become a problem but as the other poster offered, just wipe the key down. You can spray a lube into the key hole to lessen any corrosion(or wetness) but I haven't come across such a problem, unless you're by the sea, etc.. -----Willy
