So my Expy has started an issue where all a sudden you turn the key and nothing, no partial crank, nothing. I almost got stuck at a gas station on a road trip, trailer in tow until after 20 tries is just starts. Local shop claimed stater even though there was no progression of starting capabilities. Starter replaced and issue happens again. Shop claims "bad starter". New one replaced and now issue is happening again.
Behavior is when it shows up there is no partial crank, that is until I try to restart like 3-4 times in quick succession and you get a partial crank. Wiggling the key doesn't seem to change it, but that is not 100% for sure. Remove key, put back in, wiggle, try again, try again and then it just starts like there is no issue. Drive, turn off. Starts up, turn off, and then maybe it appears again, maybe not. Frustrating.
So, what's next. I'm thinking maybe ignition switch? I think I recall people saying they are a common issue on these trucks? Should I replace the ignition starter switch? Any other thing it can be? Anti-theft?
Not fun when you can't use your ride for fear you'll get stuck.
