This starter has about 7k miles on it.
This morning when I was already running late for work, I turned the key, got the click, then nothing but the whirring of the starter motor spinning. Nothing happened when I turned or pulled the key, it just kept going. So I ran into the garage and got a wrench to quickly pull the positive lead off the battery.
I waited for the motor to stop, then reattached the lead. There was another starter click, like the solenoid, then all was normal. So I turned the key, and it started as normal.
I'll report again on what happens when I try to go home from work, but.... ????
