    My wife washed the car keys, to our 04 Grand Prix,and now the thing won't start. Everything turns on but the starter doesn't work. Can somebody throw me a bone here?

    it is a coded key so I would guess it messed the chip up. If u don't have a second one then probably will need to get a new one, and that is not cheap sorry dude. Maybe get the wife to buy it lol

    Try sticking it in a jar of rice and put the lid on it to take the moisture out of it. I do the same with cell phones when they get wet. Most of the time they work not all the time. Even worked last summer for me when I dropped a phone off the dock when putting gas in the sea-doos
