Default Ignition Switch

It takes two-three turns of the key for the motor to turn over and start. When it doesn't start all that happens is an audible click. The battery & starter are relatively new, so I'm guessing its the ignition switch. Any tips on replacing it or is it something else?

Thanks in advance

Check the connections on the battery terminals if there a little loose you'll get that clicking sound.

I replaced the terminals when I bought the new battery; terminals are clean & tight...

Check the starter relay.

Replaced that too, that was my first thought when it started happening.
