My 02 Bonneville is having problems starting. When I turn the key nothing turns over... the radio comes on but nothing else will happen. At first if I waited 10-15 minutes it would start right up now it seems to take longer like up to an hour. I just had the ignition switch replaced thinking that was the problem but as soon as I had gotten home with it and tried to leave the same thing happened:(

Replce the Starter Relay in the Fuse Box under the Hood.

SOURCE: Ignition will not recognize the key chip and it will not start.

call a locksmith they have a reader and can tell if your key is the problem... it will tell them which keycode is for your vehicle and they can check and see if the key matches also i have a 95 ssei and the pcm was the problem with mine

SOURCE: key wont comeout of the ignition switch, do i need a new switch?

First, spray a bunch of WD-40 into the key cylinder -- use the red tube which comes with the can to do this -- put something on the floor to catch the oil dripping down.

This has a good chance of solving your problem. After a couple of days, buy some graphite lubricant (Pep Boys) to blow into the key cylinder. Repeat the graphite every month or so for 6 months.

Starter solenoid , or wire that leads to it.

Also , if standard transmission , may be the switch on clutch pedal is intermitant.

Engine won't turn over unless it thinks you have your foot on the clutch.

On many cars, if the battery is dead, it locks the key in the ignition. Put a battery charger on the car or replace the battery and give it a shot.

Good luck.
