Lately when I put the key in and go to start, the accesories all come on but then NOTHING happens. But other times it starts right up no problems. I am pretty sure its the ignition switch. I know the obvious solution would be to replace it. But I have heard of peole installing a "push button" start on their Jeeps. How is this possible and would this solve my problem? Thanks
 

Check you starter solenoid! next time that happens, reach under and tap it 2-3 times lightly, Should start right up.
 
Yeah that sounds like what I just went through, I knew the starter was on it's way out already. When it did quit, I would turn the key and not even a click! You can get around it by doing what jps4jeep mentioned, but if that works that means you need to get a new starter.
