1995 Maxima Ignition

Hello all, I have an intermitant problem with the ignition in a 95 maxima. It seems that when the key is turned to start the car many times nothing happens. No clicks - nothing. I suspect a switch or relay control, not the actual key lock mech. Of course I could be wrong. Before I dismantle anything, I wanted to check with this group. I recently replaced the starter which was bad. This has been going on for some time. It's like it has a mind of its own.



Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I have the service manual in pdf format if you need it.

I have a 95 SE (purchased May 94) that has been doing that intermittantly for years. I find that jiggling the key while turning it helps. For that reason I thought it was an ignition switch problem, but apparently some people have replaced the ignition switch without any improvement.

When it does happen, I do hear a single click in the dashboard (or on firewall?) when I turn the key. So maybe it is a problem with a relay somewhere. My starter was replaced many years ago and cranks smoothly (not the loping crank before original failed when it stopped on its dead spot).
