Ok C5 Tech, I searched but couldn't find what I was looking for exactly. Several times in the past few weeks, my car has acted funny trying to start it. Turn the key all the way, accessories turn on, but it won't crank. Each time it does this, I will take the key out, re-try several times, and it will finally start. When it starts, it fires right up with no hesitation. Most of the time, it starts right away without any problems, but maybe 4-5 times in the last 2 weeks, it's acted as stated above.
I apologize in advance, I do not have codes... (I'm at work now, and thinking about this...)
So, I was wondering if the ignition switch slowly goes bad, or if there was a way to check it to see if it is bad? Or something I can do to make sure that's the problem before I go buying replacement parts. I know a lot of you are well versed in C5 issues, so I'd like to hear about your experiences.

All kind of things to check, but having the codes will focus the troubleshooting. Surprised you could not find a thread on this....there are dozens of no start threads. Codes...codes....codes.
Some had an H, I assume for history at the end... but I wasn't quick enough to write them down and I didn't have much time to sit outside since I'm at work... hope this helps some!
Oh, and I didn't search "no start" i searched ignition switch... since, that's what I am questioning. Found one, but it wasn't really the same... in that thread, the car would crank, just wouldn't start. Mine won't crank at all when it does this...
