Ignition Housing

[WDAN]

I have noticed in this Texas 95 - 100 degree heat, my key & ignition housing gets very hot to touch.
Is this normal from engine heat or an electrical issue?

Thanks in advance,
WDAN

If it starts to smoke I'd have to say electrical!

If it melts... move north.

Again, I like the above answers !! I might be apt to blame Mother Nature, she can be a  &%^$* !  The really really smart guys say the sun has been hotter, have you tried keeping the sun away from that area..  You could pull the panel and take a look..

Combination of engine heat and ambient temps.  Not to worry.
