Key Cylinder question

[tiger]

The other day when I was sitting there warming up my car and I noticed my little LED dash lights (that plug into my cigarette lighter) weren't on.. I also noticed my electric fan wasn't on...I checked to make sure the plug was in the cigarette lighter good and then for some reason I touched the key that was in the ignition and slightly, barely turned it forward (like I was trying to start the car again)(Keep in mind that my car is running) forward a little and the lights came back on and so did the fan. It seems like something might be loose in there.. do i need a new key cylinder or something? I want to catch this before it becomes a real problem.

Hmm... i guess that makes sense about the lock.... What i might try is some lube that is good on locks, some people have used graphite, i think silicone spray is ok too, but dont quote me on it... Something that works good for cleaning and enhancing electrical connections.....

thank you.. I might just check some wires under there and make sure they're not loose. :-D
