There are people out there that say having to much stuff on you key ring is bad. Some how the weight on the ignition in the steering column does not like this. Is there any truth to that at all? I don't believe it.

It's true. The extra weight of an additional bunch of keys wears the ignition switch to a point where you may have trouble starting the vehicle. There is also the damage that swinging keys does to the steering column (scratches and wear marks). It is better to have your ignition key on a dedicated keychain. My advice is to get one of the snap-apart type keychains and just put the ignition key by itself.

Believe it, it's true. I wore out an ignition switch soo bad that the keys actually came out of it as I was making a turn. It got bad enough that you didn't even need the key to start the truck.

some incorrect information so far interior the solutions you have gotten. when you consider which you probably did no longer point out three hundred and sixty 5 days, make, style, all of us ought to wager what motor vehicle you're conversing approximately. besides the undeniable fact that, some GM automobiles have a resistor chip--that would not be tormented via different keys. yet different automobiles have a transponder chip and having dissimilar transponder keys on the hoop ought to truly cut back to rubble the receiver. The gadget sends out a radio sign. The antenna interior the main options up the sign and turns it into ability to run the chip interior the main. Then it transmits the code on the chip by way of the antenna returned to the gadget. So 2 transponder keys ought to be powered up on the comparable time and deliver diverse codes.

Sure can.
Constant pulling, and jiggling, and yanking on anything day after day after day will wear out ANYTHING.
