Yes, I feel like a jerk.

Yes, I thought I dried it before using it. But a week after the washing the remote door lock/unlock stopped working while the ignition function still works.

But it's only a matter of time before the ignition function also fails.

What makes it worse is that this is the second time I've done this.

When these keys cost about $185 each why can't the cases be waterproofed? They do have waterproof cases for cell phones now.
