I did a very stupid thing this week. I was in a hurry to get to work and I dropped my keys in the snow. I didn't have time to dry them off so I started my car. Now it's difficult to remove my keys from the ignition! I need to pull and pull. Also, my horn wouldn't work. I sprayed some WD-40 onto the key and it seems a little better and my horn works now. Did I do any severe damage and is it okay if I use WD-40? Please let me know!

Spray more WD40 in there! Thats the first step on troubleshooting this type of issue is to lubricate the ignition cylinder good with WD40. Work it in the cylinder with the key. Also try using a different key if you have a spare.
