Happy Holidays everyone. Every since it has been getting cold I have been encountering some electrical problems when I go to start up my car. When I turn my key to turn on my accessories I don�t get anything and I can�t turn my car on, where I would normally have power. Sometimes I will get power, and then when I turn the key to turn the car on it goes dead with no power. After I do it several times I will get it to work and the car will turn on. Any ideas? Starter..Starter relay�ignition switch�

Could be the ignition switch is worn. How's the battery, and if the car starts, check the voltage at the battery is 14 volts or more.

Your ignition switch is worn out.

that would be my guess also as you describe that you would have to work the key to get the power to come on.
