If your car is having ignition problems, the answer depends on the end of your key chain. Inside the ignition switch are plastic parts that are felt to absorb the extra weight on them. According to the manufacturers, if you carry around more than four keys, or other types of weight in the same key chain with your ignition keys, these parts you could hurt Add to that the constant movement of the keys back and forth with the car.
The problem is even worse with motorcycles because of the increased traffic. The weight of the key chain pulls down on the ignition key/controller lock, causing the barrels to wear inside the lock. Later the lock will be useless and will have to be replaced.
Clean up your Key Chain
Shake out your key chain and see what’s there. Chances are, not only are your car keys, house keys, and work keys out there, but there’s a valuable key or two that you no longer use and may not even recognize. Maybe you have your spouse’s car keys in there, plus a small tool like nail clippers, a mini-flasher, and then the actual key chain. Of course, you must have all the keys in one ring you actually need, but it would be expensive in the end.
Is this a gender issue?
Here’s what happened to one of the two. Their train is often halted, but only with the driving wife. It has already started, back from the garage and will die. She restarted it, and a second later it stopped again. So they describe the first ones looking at their mechanic. Upon hearing this, he saw both of their nail rings, and his suspicions were confirmed. The husband shared his keys individually, while the wife carried her key chain. The fire still had to be removed and repaired because of the damage done, but problem solving skills bought them to release some time ago, until he could fix it.
Don’t wear a Ball Earring
One patient suggested the practice of sticking a nail into the ignition with a lot of weight hanging from it, like wearing a ball earring. Try it for a few seconds, and your neck and back and shoulder will be completely out of whack in short order, not to mention the ears. Over time the same thing happens to the plastic parts inside your ignition switch.
Easy prevention
Prevention is simple if you catch it early enough. More than four keys or something in one ring is too much. However, manufacturers recommend that you carry your ignition key completely separate from your home and office keys. If you’re worried about losing one key, keep your extra key with your house keys, just in case.
This is certainly one thing to remember. But the first time the cartime starts, or then the stalls start, you’ll probably wish you had taken it simple and free, while you could
