I have been having issues lately when starting my 5.0. Today it would not start at all. Everything inside turns on. Its dead when you try to turn over with the ignition. So I left the key in the on position and i started it by arcing a screw driver on the starter solenoid. Any Ideas? Looks like it might be the IGNITION SWITCH.

make sure your connections at the batt and solenoid are clean and tight.

yup they are even took them off and re tightened. it has a mind of its own.. sometimes it will start after 2 or 3 turns..today after 20 turns nothing so i had to arc it...
