I own a 1999 base model with the original radio. The radio started cutting out while driving.
It only worked when the key was turned to Acc. I searched the forum and the consensus was that it was an ignition switch problem. I replaced the switch this weekend and there is no change. Also, sometimes the radio stays on when the car is turned off and the key removed? Any ideas?
I wanted to mention that when unscrewing the two screws that hold the ignition switch in place, I used the screw driver on my mini Swiss army knife. It worked great! I couldn't get any torque using Jewelers tools.
