Was that a Mercedes? On our cars, the cylinder/tumbler the key goes into, is completely separated from the electrical part of the ignition switch which is located at back of switch assembly. Puzzled how grease was able to get to the contacts and create a short. You should never put grease in a tumbler anyway. Graphite is the recommended lubricant.
