The key on my 95 Aurora will often trigger the security light to come on and not start, which means waiting several minutes before you can retry. If I carefully push the key in firmly as I attempt to crank the engine, it will usually start, but not always. I have cleaned the key as instructed in the owner's manual when this happens, but it doesn't seem to help. Is there a contact inside the ignition switch that also needs to be cleaned? If so, what would work best? I was thinking of using TV tuner cleaner (used on old style rotating tuner TVs), but was afraid it might do damage or remove lubricants from the tumblers.
