My kids were playing with the keys in mud and dirt. I think the ignition switch is filled with dirt. When I insert the key it is a little hard to turn, then the key sticks and makes the starter make a wining noise. So I turn it back a little bit and the accessories start working and turns the car on. Is their any way to clean it or what should i do?
