my key dont work sometimes????
Well I Was Told The Lil' Chip In The Key Is Messed Up Or Dirty.. So I Got A New Key Made From The Dealership Today And That Does It Too.. Every Now And Then It Wont Start My Car, The Key Will Turn The Ign. But Wont Start It, My Command Center Says "remove Key, Wait 10 Sec." Its Not Every Time, Its A Few Times A Week.. Ill Wait A Few Minutes Then Try It And It Will Work... Any Ideas???

Resistance changes with temperature. I had one of these resistor keys fail to work once because it got cold. Sitting in the ignition switch for 10 minutes with the window down and the car off caused it. Warming it in my hands made it work. I realize it's not Winter but perhaps your key is getting too warm due to being in the Sun or something?

These are not easy ones to fix.... here's a thread that discusses a solution. My car still does this periodically. Good luck.
