For the starting position, test the voltage at the starter solenoid (small wire) when the key is at the start position. A test light can also be used. Be careful because there is ALWAYS a possibility that the starter can engage when doing this. Best to disconnect the battery, connect the leads, then reconnect the battery and do the test. Be sure to test ALL of the connectors as well, especially if it is an older car... Reseating them can help clean corrosion from the connector terminals. If you need to test the run position, check voltage at the coil.
