1998 S70 won't start

Hi,

This is an intermittent problem that has occurred twice over the past 6 weeks.

I replaced the fuel pump relay, fuel filter and cleaned the MAF sensor. No codes are thrown.

When I turn the key to start there is a "click" but no starter turn over. The battery is fully charged and the cables and posts are clean and secure as are the ground straps.

Usually, the car will start after several tries. No luck this time.

Could this be the electrical portion of the ignition switch? Is there a way to bypass it to see if that is the problem?

Thanks,
Bryan
