Car won't start - bad ignition switch?

Hey FC, a step-by-step troubleshooting process was laid out in post #5....with explanations of what this is doing and what to look at. This is not the ballast; the ballast has nothing to do with activating your starter. The problem is in the starter and/or the starter relay circuit, and/or key switch. The starter relay is activated by the key switch, and then the starter relay sends +12V to the starter's solenoid lead (the small wire on the starter) which activates the starter.

You can throw parts at it and sometimes get things fixed, but if it is wiring, you will have to troubleshoot it, step-by-step to know where to look. Being erratic makes it harder.....welcome to the world of machinery!
