A key that sticks, turns loosely or will not come out, or a car with an intermittent no-start or lost accessory power, can mean a worn ignition switch or lock cylinder. Before replacing it, look over the key for wear and the two connectors for damage with the ignition off, since a worn key or a loose connector can mimic those signs.
