Stiff Key Switch

Hello, is there a way to lubricate the ignition switch in these trucks? My switch sometimes feels difficult to turn like it needs some penetrating oil on it.

get some WD40 in a spray can and shoot it inside the key hole, then run the key in and out. If the problem is sticking "inside" that should do it.

Lock lubricant is a much better choice than is WD40. WD40 often works okay for a short duration, but the problem returns quickly.
