My 80 year old mother's 93 Gran Prix has suddenly gotten very hard to turn the ignition key to start it in cold weather. It's not hard to turn when warmed up but she only drives it short distances (church, etc) and it never gets that warm inside unless parked in the sun. She has arthritis in her hand and it's painful to have to turn it that hard. Is this problem addressable without taking the steering column apart, or could just spraying WD-40 or something into the key slot help?
