Car starts when it wants? Here's the problem . When I turn ignition dash lights are on and anti theft light goes out but nothing happens at all. This happens at least twice a week and has been happening for past 6 months. Eventually after turning ignition on anywhere from 1 to 30 times it does eventually start.
I have had it to 2 different local mechanics who have run electrical test on starter and battery and checked all connections and say everything tests OK. Of course the car starts all the time when it is being serviced for the problem. Recently just had new battery installed (unrelated to problem, had original in car) at the same time had electrical system and connections tested again and all checked out OK. Happened again today. Took 15 minutes before it would start. Drove to ford dealership and said the best they could do was for me to leave it and they will try and start it and try to duplicate the problem otherwise not much they said they could do? Any answers?

you may have a faulty ignition switch. it should be a box connected by a rod to the ignition lock down under the steering column. check that.
