Why do you think that?

No, that's a CPU problem. Sounds like it needs to be resoldered.

well ill go to turn the ignition to the on position and itll klik klik klik sometimes until i get that lucky turn and it turns the engine over.... i have looked and relooked at the cpu resoldered everything and its good! wondering about the ignition switch though i have been told it is the ignition switch .. the only thing on the warning light kluster that acts up is the door light comes on every so often especially when i hit a bump well ok hope thatz enough....
thanks

Where’s the click coming from? It might be a dodgy starter solenoid.
Unplug the ignition switch and check it using the chart below.
