My '96 SL with about 190K on the clock has been running like a champ.
About a week ago, I stopped at a store and it would not turn over.
it was at night, and when I turned the key it made no click or any
other sound, at the lights did not dim. It just seemed like the key
switch was not doing anything. Since it is a standard transmission, I
was able to easily push/bump start it and drive 3 miles home. When I
parked it in the driveway, same thing, turn the key to start, and
absolutely no reaction from the car. Lights were good and bright, and
did not dim at all.

Then It sat for a week while I was out of town, and I went out to
see what might be the problem, and the dang thing started right up! I
shut it off and started it 2 more times and it worked perfectly. I
guess I will keep driving it until it fails again, but hopefully I
will be in a good place to bump start it.

What do you think it most likely could be? Key switch, relay,
starter, or?
