Dk Exp My Ignition switch was stuck, and WD-40 fixed it.

Hi guys, I have found a lot of great info on this site so I thought I would join and contribute.
I just bought an '02 Eddie Bauer 4x4 and I love it! I did have a problem where the ignition switch would not turn, it was frozen. After reading a ton of compalints about this and not having $500 to replace the switch I flooded it with WD40. It actually worked! Seems that the switch gets plugged up with filings from the key so I figured flush that sucker. I'll let you know how long it works.
