[QUOTE="Evox, post: 1041600, member: 74754"] The problem started again this morning. I'm at wit's end. I have the new Motorcraft key cylinder arriving tomorrow. When I change it out, I will take another look at the ignition switch and reexamine the plug and the wires attached to the ignition switch. I feel like I've checked every possible ground wire. I've checked continuity and every plug I can find. I've cleaned everything. This is a southeastern truck, so corrosion isn't a problem. I did find a smashed wire leading to part of the EVAP system, but I don't see how this could be the problem. I checked all the wires leading from the driver's door to the body and can find no worn or broken wires. I haven't cut away the insulation for the harness leading to the fuse box in the engine compartment, and I guess there could be something broken there. But I don't see how the insulation looks good. Maybe this is it for the old girl. [/QUOTE]
