    I do. I have ever since the one on the 88 Marquis died that way. 
Went out to leave and no start. I keep a module and the little special 
tool from one of the catalog vendors to change it. I remember he said 
torx but on the 88 Merc and on my 89 Mustang it's a hex head screw and 
you almost have to have this tool or a modified nut driver to get them.
