Subject:Oops...forgot, I also have a problem

List,
Oops forgot "Critter" also has one of those funny
intermittent problems. On six occasions in the last
few months, when turning the key to the start
position, the normal dash lights blink, the fuel pump
pumps but
the starter does not engage... just silence. Seems I
have normal electricity everywhere. I tore
into the whole starter electrical system and found no
faults and finally gave up and started on the ignition
wiring. All of a sudden starter worked. Strangely, the
next few times it happened just leaving it set also
cured the problem. I have found no faults.

Could it be the ignition switch that is going bad? I
have heard they have the reputation they are a weak
link....
