Check the column lock post at the top of the page.

Could be the resistor on the ignition key, or could be the start of a column lock problem.

GM had the recall taken off my 98 and then reset everything. All I have is what they did to the parts in the column. They said they would call me when they find a permanant fix. Lots of problems with 97 & 98 automatics. I talked to a Customer service rep twice. Mine had all kinds of codes and the 10 second thing after they worked on it. Seems OK now?
