How do you thaw the ignition switch out

[Bob Denman]

That is funny, Bob, that you suggest WD-40 after so many people (and especially locksmiths) said it was a No-No for locks!

Is that considered "Irony"? :dontknow:

Upon doing some research, I found a couple of websites that sell the key blank. The first one sells only to Locksmiths. The second one I think sells to the general public. Wow, what a mark up. Amazon wanted over $14 and a hardware company wanted about $35 for the same key.

That's about what I paid, when I bought a bunch of them...
My advice; buy them up, and we'll have to let members in here know, that a safe place to procure them exists in here... :2thumbs:
Can you post a link to that site? Thanks!

I once had a problem with my windows freezing up. I told a friend and he said just pour hot water on it. Now my computer dont work at all,LOL.

Maybe you could pour Scotch on it .... that always thaws me out a good shot of Scotch. :clap:

I am working in Iowa, I have to park my bike outside, I ride to work everyday, but a few times the ignition switch has froze up, and will not turn, like today I can only get the key halfway into tumbler...

I have tried the heat stuff you squirt into key hole---does not work

I have tried the WD-40 you squirt into key hole---does not work

I have tried the Either you squirt into key hole---does not work

I have tried putting a heat lamp onto the switch---does not work

I have tried covering the key hole up--does not work

Anybody else have any other suggestions, this is plum depressing and very aggrevating
