Default ignition problem

I just changed my ignition switch 2 months ago. The past week I've been getting intermittent ignition problems. I would turn the key and nothing. no crank no lights on the dash zip zero nilch. After a few times turning the key it would start up.

Should I change out the switch again???

If so where should i go for the switch because the samething is going on with the old 100. I changed its switch around the same time and its having the same symptoms.

Default I think someone put a Hex on your ignition switches.

Are you installing them correctly??

Maybe the connectors are dirty, or not seated all the way.
