Michael and two much Power,

Check the DIY section for a fix I documented for the spinning key issue. I had the same issue on my 98 which then turned into a hard fail. lucky I was in the middle of a maintenance cycle and not at the office. The fix cost me .42 cents and a trip to Ace Hardware. I will do the same fix as a preventive measure for my-new- to-my-wife's 95 Active.
