I've had issues with my 2000 4.4 not starting when turning the key. There are no other issues other this. Lately it does this everyday. I have to continueously turn the key forward then back then forward, etc..... until it finally turns over.

So I decided to eliminate the starter as a possible problem. So I removed the skid plate and used a test light to see if there is power going to the thin starter wire whne it happens. Sure enough when the problem happens the wire does not get power. So that means somewhere between the ignition key and the starter is the cause of the problem. I know that the key it's self is not the problem since the other key does the same thing.

What I'm looking for is a wiring schematic or placement of ignition control components. I have the CD manual but it's very vague. Any help would very much be apprecated. Any thought or suggestions please let me know, Thanks Rob
