Greetings,
Four or five times this has happened: I try to start the car and nothing happens. Lights, radio, dash all work, but the car doesn't turn over or crank at all. The first few times, jiggling the key and trying again worked. It would not reoccur for a while (several weeks) and then it happened again. Jiggled key, car started. Yesterday, though, I had to to some more jiggling than usual, and I was thinking it is probably time to fix this before the jiggling solution no longer works and I (or my wife) get stuck somewhere.

Any ideas about what might be causing this or how to fix it?
