Hi, just the other day i went to get in my car and it sounded like the battery was dead, you know how it sounds when there isnt enough power going to the starter?
anyways, i thought it was my battery, had it tested and it was fine, i didnt believe the tester so i just got a new battery with the warranty. Got home put the new battery on and it did nothing, not even a ticking noise. 5 minutes later i tried it again and it started right up like a new car. did fine for a day. went to the store and bam! it wouldnt do anything. i kept turning the key off and on and it started up. got back home turned it off waited an hour and it started right back.
Today i started fooling with things, checking the cables, etc... found nothing out of whack. the car stated right up so i kept turning it off and on.. it started about 8 times but on the 9th try it did nothing! all the lights come on but i couldnt hear the starter or anythign trying to click. waited 1 minute tried again and it started.
So im starting to think it's my key switch? my switch has always been messed up i can spin the switch all the way around and i can pull the key out while the car is still running. but if the dash lites and everything still comes on when i turn the key shouldnt it also be getting juice to the starter? im not sure how it works. thanks if you can help me or got any ideas.

What kind of car would help some with this.
If key can turn a full circle, pull out at will then obviously that's a problem that could be the whole issue,
