Dear Habib,

Hope you're well and stay so. When the car does not start, do the instrument cluster warning lights come "on", when you turn the key to start? If these lights don't come on - and if the car is electrically "dead", i.e., no lights of any sort come "on" - that could mean a failed ignition switch.

Does the starter motor turn at all, i.e., does the starter turn the crankshaft, but does the engine not "fire-up"? Or, does the starter motor not make any noise at all.

Is your ignition key on a large. heavy key bunch? I ask, because over the years I've seen posts that suggest a weighty key bunch can cause an ignition switch to work erratically, and - ultimately - not at all.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
