Default Car not starting - fuel pump not getting power

Car not starting. This happens every couple of weeks or so. It will try to start and never successfully turn over. What I did notice is that when it has this problem, when I put the key in the ignition on the 2nd click I do not hear the fuel pump.

The fuel pump can however, be heard on the 2nd click when it is not having this problem.

What this tells me is that the fuel pump is not getting power for some reason everytime. What has been the fix for this, has been basically playing with this ignition. You have to turn the key to click # 2 and then take the key out and keep doing this untill you hear the fuel pump turn on and then, when you do hear the fuel pump, you can start the car right up.

Sounds like either a bad ignition switch or a bad main relay. Use a DMM to see if the switch is delivering 12v to the relay like it should.
