ignition switch fails in the middle of a day with multiple errands. (several starts and stops, i.e. turn off engine perform errand, get back in car, restart engine...)

However, if allowed to sit idle for about 10-15 minutes after switch fails, ignition will restart engine just fine.

also, sometimes when trying to restart after switch fails, i've found that if i turn steering wheel while turning ignition key, the switch will work.
