if my ignition switch is bad could it cause my truck to die and not restart for a few hours. im not getting any spark after it dies. I did check the harness at the ignition coil with a volt meter after it died one wire was constant the other would only flash for a second while being turned over by my buddy

here's a tip
The harness splice under the fuse block under the hood has a splice that corrodes and causes a no start condition check this if you have these symptoms check your asd relay as well
