98 Grand Prix GTP Possible Bad Ignition Switch

The problem is I can go to start my car and nothing happens. I can try to start it and sometimes it takes about Five minutes for it to turn over and then its fine for awhile then I let it sit for an hour or so and when I go out to start it again nothing happens. I here the relay click behind the glove box but the car wont even turn over and then after about 5 to ten minutes of turning the ignition key it just starts and when I stop the car it wont start for awhile again. I think its the ignition switch but thats an expensive part to change out if Im wrong. I need help.
 


Check both the battery cables and terminals to be sure they are clean of corrosion and are tight. I've seen corroded terminals cause this before. And best of all its free!
 
Thanks to all that replied. I replaced the Ignition Switch and it works fine now. This has been a problem for about two weeks now and I am glad that this problem has been corrected. Again Thanks!!!!!!!:th_laugh-lol3:
