Car won't start, but only sometimes. Jiggling key works V70-XC70 2005

I assume when you put ignition key on that all the dash lights and icons light up

1) I think that car has a starter relay and corresponding fuse, check them
2) Check power overload relay as well
3) Use a long socket extension or a wooden dowel (like a short broom stick)
Put one and on the starter and hit the other end with the hammer.
Sometimes starter solenoid gets stuck and will not react.
4) Check for lose battery connection, plus or minus. Wiggle the connections.
