    I left the keys to my 2010 Prerunner in some dirty jeans that I ran through the washing machine. The keyless entry and the ignition key still work, but I'm worried about problems later on. Anyone ever do this?

    Put it in a cup of rice over night. That will absorb the moisture. I've had phones go through the wash and keep working after drying them out in rice.
