64. Keep Your Car Keys Separate

Items Needed: N/A

Some cars still have a key injection, which operates differently from a push-to-start vehicle. If you have a key ring with your car keys, house and work keys, and a host of other pieces of metal hanging from the ring, you might be risking damage to your car.

Having more than six keys on your keyring is too much weight for your ignition switch. The switch can only handle a certain amount of weight, and excessive keys can overload it. To avoid a potentially costly repair, keep your car keys on a separate ring from all your other keys, gadgets, and fobs.
