My 1995 Maxima GLE automatic is getting more difficult to start. When turning the key, the dashboard instruments come on, but turning it to 'ignition' results in nothing. Total silence, not a click, the starter makes no noise at all. I have to turn the key multiple times, even take it out and re-insert and eventually the engine starts. New battery, so this is not the problem. The starter used to have more 'power' a year ago, now it sounds a little weaker but it still starts the engine [eventually]. What are the main suspects ? Ignition switch not making contact ? Dying starter ? Any other component ? How can I tell ?
