Can a Car Key Still Work After Being Washed in the Washing Machine?
1 Answers
If a car key has been washed in the washing machine, it can generally still be used. Additional Information: Precautions: When a car key has been accidentally washed in the washing machine, avoid shaking it forcefully, as this can spread the moisture inside the key and potentially increase the damage. Additionally, do not rush to press the buttons to check if it still works—testing the key while it is wet significantly raises the risk of malfunction, as the circuit chip inside may get damaged or burned. Car Key Functions: Car keys typically include features such as a car locator, the ability to close windows after turning off the engine, automatic trunk opening, remote window control, and the option to unlock only the driver's door.
