I had similar issue last year plus earlier than that. When the ignition wouldn't work, I started the car by first shorting the starter's solenoid terminals. Then the ignition would work. A few days later would be uneventful (started normally) then it happened again.

It turned out to be a crack at the starter's positive terminal. The crack could be seen when the starter's power cables are removed. So there must be some internal break in electrical connection. Replaced with new starter and problem solved till this day.

Hope this helps,
Amarin.
