but what seemed to work then, and I personally did it for my 87 c900T red convertible, is to get about a measureing cup of very hot water (from the tap *NOT* boiling) and pour it straight into the key slot, as noted in the past there no problem doing this. Then work the key back and forth and see if it starts. If it does (or does not) then put the plastic spray wand from WD-40 directly into the key slot and spray to a count of 2. work the key back and forth a couple of times.
Leave over night and check the next day. I suspect you will be ok. And no, you are not the first, and you won't be the last, to do this. My son put a 7/11 44 oz coke into the center console and didn't tell me. He did a really good job of cleaning it up, however about three days later the key did what yours is doing. He told me what happend and we did the above. Notice I said *we did it*, not I heard, was told, or read it somewhere.
