All of the sudden my excursion will not start. It will not crank, spin, or click. I suspect electrical. I have taken the starter to the local car parts supply to have it tested and it is fine. Replaced the battery with a deep cell 12v battery. Still nothing. I can jump start the starter and it will run with no problems (except that I cannot restart it with the key). Not sure what to do next.

Have you checked the ground to the engine block?

Yes, my excurs has an anti-theft system and I am thinking that may be the problem or a relay. Am I far off?
