Moving key to crank start right to on position the car will crank? Normal or some key/starter issue.

Here is how to change the starter out and the starter wiring diagrams so you can see how then system works. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
