2000 SSEI will not crank

Just picked up the car and it seems that it will intermittently go into a no start mode. Starter is not receiving a signal from the ignition switch. If i jump the signal wire and put 12v to the starter car will start and run fine. I also noticed that the light on the dash which indicates gear selected has also gone out, not sure if it is related. Going to get a wiring schematic to see if i can trace the ignition wire. Any thoughts?????
This reminds me of something a buddy ran into. Here'* a link to the thread wtih the problem and solution

On the way to work this morning, actually in the tim hortons drive through the indicator light came back on. Now it starts fine.
Thinking JW is on the right track. I'll start there.
Thanks Guys.
actually according to bills link the switch is internal to the trans on 2000+ bonnies, so if yours is bad i think hes suggesting you can change it over to a external one like on most others. other wise i guess the trans would have to come out to replace it. doesnt seem like one of gm'* better ideas.
I was merely adding onto what you tossed out JW. I thought the same thing. Yes the 00+ Bonne is internal and you "can" swap it by lowering the drivetrain to get the side cover off. I however would put an external switch on because that can take under an hour and the side cover is going to take 3-6 hours.
Thanks Bill, after reading the post i think that is exactly what i'm going to do. Off to the scrap yard Saturday morning to see what i can find. Thanks for the help. Will post the results when i'm finished.
Thanks for the help!
