My car listed above does not start all the time. Sometimes it fires right up. Other times it does not start when I rotate the push button to start ignition. The directional lights do not work during this time either. Not sure if it's related. The battery was checked and has full power. Could this be an ignition switch problem or fuel pump problem?

Thank you

When you say no starting do you mean the engine is not cranking over or the engine is cranking over but not running? Here are two videos you can go over to help us find the easy stuff:
