After chasing around an intermittent no start problem, including replacing the ignition switch (they do wear out anyway), the problem was as simple as poor fuse contacts. I had looked at the fuses earlier, and none were blown, so I assumed all was well. Then I read a post about good fuses but poor contact. Opened the fuse box, rolled each fuse around a few times between the post holders and VOILA - car started right away. Thanks, Brickboard!!
