every once in a while my car wont start i turn the key and nothing no noise so what ive been doing is opening up the fuse box on the side where my left foot is i dont know what its called but i open it up and tap the ends of the im guessing "plugs " and the car starts .. i dont know ish about cars so i could use some help

what year is ur lude? mine is a 2k, i have the same problem sorta, lots of times i put the key in, turn it, and nothing, lights and radio are on, i keep trying and nothing. i have to turn the key all the way off and retry it. it doesnt allways do this, and it always catches after like the 2nd or 3rd time. i think i hear of a recall or 5th gen starters or something like that. i need to go to the dealer...
