I love my '98 Vanden Plas. However, intermittenly when I turn the key to start the car, I get nothing. No clicking, no engine even trying to turn over. I do have power throughtout the car with no interuption when attempting to turn the key. Seems the intermittency of not starting is becoming more frequent. It almost seems like I need to turn the key faster or with more force. Your thought?
