Title: ignition key getting hot
Post by: Merlot on March 08, 2009, 22:34:54

Have had a problem with intermittent starting problems but Hy have decided that the remote chip in the key was faulty and will replace it but have noticed that after driving for about 20 minutes with either key when you take out the key the blade of the key is hot,anyone else had this problem?? :lol:

Took notice of this yesterday.  Key was as cool as a cucumber.  Sounds a bit odd to me.
