Help! My ignition was very stiff, I even bent one of my keys. Someone told me to put a few drops of graphite (oil) into the ignition. About 30 min. after doing this, my car really acted up. No power windows or sunroof, parking brake and brake fluid light came on, and finally the car just died. Eventually it started up again without any assistance, now the windows are working, no warning lights on anymore, but it is making a different noise somewhere in the engine. Last night it almost didn't start again and starting has never been a problem. Is it a coincidence or did I screw up something electrical by putting this oil into the ignition? Help please!
