Turn the key and nothing, but batteries not drained, but can push start it fires up, then you can shut it off and starts with key for a few times.

When you turn the key to start the engine does make any sounds and is the security light flashing?

Cheers, Ken

Check the wiring at the starter solenoid for loose/corrosion. The lack of initial action sounds like a poor connection that engine heat/vibration "fix" for a few tries.
