Happens to me when the key is not fully seated into the switch. _________________

Should I be concern that one day it will not turnover? _________________ Thanks Zaftig! |

Hasn't happened to me. There may be a part inside that wears, but, so far, no problem.
Shoot some Triflow lube into the key slot. _________________
