First check the connection of the fitting, under the cowl, which
connects to the ignition switch. Remove the cowl's two screws, push up
on the plastic connector, and try to start thevehicle.  I had a similar
situation in a cold environment, within the month, and it sees to me
that the cold caused the components to contract just enough to
disengage.  Worked for me.
