Re: 1998 S70 Key spins in the the ignition

Found it . notice that wen the key goes in it pushes a button in the switch. when i pushed the button with a pen the chime goes off. The key started spinning regardless in the switch was mounted or not. So i sprayed cleaner in the keyhole and worked the key in and out and the problem went away
