Hey HB, remember a while back when I asked your advice about my key (ANY, I have three) not turning in my car? Well, happened today on the way to work. Before, it was in a parking lot and I only had the one key. Today, it was at home and I had access to all three. Not a one would turn that damn thing. Last time around you suggested graphite. I had a recall on it so had the Toyota boys do it. Today, out of frustration, I dabbed a little "3-in-One" on a key and tried again to no avail (never bought the graphite...as I said, the Toyota boys did it). Still. Didn't work. Damn thing was locked but good with all three keys. Called up the Toyota boys who are about an hour away from me and, after passing the phone around what seemed to be the entire service dept, I got someone who said to try to shake the wheel and if I have a little "play" to the right or left, crank it. Yup. did the trick. They should write that in the damn manual!
Question is, any problems you can see from my first use of the 3-in-1? I didn't flood it, just a dab on the key, but I know you know your shit. Tell me to put Crisco in there to offset the oil and I'll do it!
