In this case it I opened the sunroof with a three inches of snow on it - snow poured in and melted down into the key hole over night - when temps dropped below -15 the ignition would not turn and when it did no - battery light and no start
the optimal solution in your case because you are dealing with a sticky corrosive coating is to access the ignition wires and clean everything by removing the console - if the problem persists
a second best solution would be to use rubbing alcohol or in my case the alcohol we put in gas tanks to prevent freeze up - it will dissolve the coke and dry clean
I am dubious of using water or any kind of oily substance since they could cause problems if you are in a cold climate and they have problems with flow - at least in a light oil application in cool climate
