Ranger ignition issue

Hey, I've got a 2014 Ford Ranger diesel with about 148k km on the clock. Having a weird ignition issue. Sometimes it won't start, other times it just shuts off while driving, and occasionally runs really rough. Dashboard lights seem normal. Any ideas? Checked for obvious stuff, but no luck so far.

Sounds familiar. I had similar problems with my Ranger. Is the key turn normal? Does it crank at all when it doesn't start? Could be a defective fuse.

Key turn feels normal, yeah. Sometimes it cranks, sometimes nothing at all. Where would I find the fuse you mentioned?

Fuse box is usually under the hood or inside the cabin. But honestly, with those symptoms, especially the shutting off while driving, I'd get it checked out by a workshop. Could be more than just a fuse.

Thanks for the advice! Turns out it was a faulty ignition switch, cost me 52€ to get sorted. Appreciate the help!
