has any one else experienced the same issue as me ? and if so what's the answer?

What is your question?

I have a 2001 crown vic with intermittent cranking problem. and it still started when ever it did crank. but now I still have intermittent cranking problem and a no start issue. I think it is in the ignition system . I noticed I don't hear the fuel pump kicking on or the power locks when I turn on the key. I also noticed something in the steering it is very hard to put in the lock position. and after I was messing with the steering wheel I had a no crank issue....I left it sit over night next day it cranked but wouldn't start... any suggestions..... What seems to make the problem better or worse? when I would try and lock and unlock steering, or turn the wheel as far as would go in both directions How long have you had this problem? for the last year when ever I would drive her and use the steering wheel
