dam moter keeps telling me the key is in the ignition. i guess the switch may be up the swanny.

WD is a double edged sword - it leaves a deposit which can attract crap, but it is a good system for "washing" out an electrical unit.
better is to wash it with alcohol and then spraying the lock with a graphite based lubricant.

Maplin do a switch cleaner which also includes a dry lubricant.
