2000 Explorer
Hello. I have had a weird problem for a few months. I searched all over the forums and couldn't find a similar situation. Sometimes when I get in and start my 2000 Explorer it won't start. Everything lights up in the dash like it is supposed to. There is no check engine light. If I hold the key in the start position it will eventually start. It doesnt click or crank. Sometimes this may take 20 seconds to a minute. Once it took about 3 minutes of holding the key in the start position. It usually happens in the morning. It is so random that I can hop in the car in the morning start it up, drive to gas station, and it will act up when trying to leave. I am not sure where I should start to diagnose this. I have taken it to the Ford Dealer and naturally it will not happen when trying to show them. Thanks for the help
 






If it were mine, I would just replace the ignition switch. The switch, not the tumbler.
