well what i would do is use a multimeter hook up one lead to the red constant wire and the other lead on the other wires off the ignition and jiggle the key and turn it back and forth and see if you lose continuity during the turn...

the ignition wires will have connection during the entire turn...the acc wires will drop out when you crank the starter...

but in newer s-series there are two red wires so you will have to play around with it...

when i have a hunch on an ign swicth prob, i use a big light back probed into the circuit in question. if it dies, then i found it.

well i disconnected the battery and connected it back and it hasnt did it since. but it could be my ignition switch....thanks for the info..
