Usually it's all in the wrist, but during cold temps I have to click the key in the ignition forward once and let it sit for 30 seconds before I try turning the key again. It'll spring back, and I immediately turn the key for the car to start. It's been doing that for about a year or longer. Today, with outdoor temps about 20, nothing. Any ideas what I need to replace? I called three mechanics and got three answers.
