I concur. Remove the battery (or, get a jumpstart -- if it starts, it's another sign of a dead battery), go to Autozone or Advance Auto for their FREE charging system test.

I had a similar problem. It could be the battery or the contacts or it could be the ignition switch. I had my battery checked, it needed to be replaced. I still have the problem but only once in awhile. I believe my problem is the ignition switch. I'm going to try the relay bypass fix first. ( you can find many threads on this subject) Good luck.

Could be the battery, alternator, or starter. How bright are the headlights when you turn the key on? If they're bright it's the starter/ignition.
Check the voltage when the car is running. It should be in the 14V range. If it's lower it's the alternator. If it's none of these then it's likely the battery.

Best way to find out is use the search feature and search for "starter relay"
