I had this problem on cold mornings mostly. If it doesn't start and you have power and there is a yellow light on the panel that looks like a padlock the problem is most definitely the ignition switch. The ignition switch will falsely trigger the passive anti-theft devise "Passlock" to disable the engine. Several minutes later if you sit and watch the light it will go off indicating that Passlock has reset. If you then remove the key and try it again the car should start. This problem gets really irritating if you don't deal with it. My car did it so randomly in the winter that I only got it fixed after it happened twice in a row after resetting and only started on the third try. Took about half an hour. I was really late for work that day.
Battery maybe bad or you have a bad cable from the battery to the starter or just a bad terminal on battery
