Hi 

Don't know if this helps, but I have a similar issue which happens from time to time.

I think it is caused by my ignition key.

A while back I bought a folding key fob blank on eeeeeeeebay. Transferred the remote locking bit from the original key and had the mechanical key cut.

It all works fine but on occasion, if I insert the key into the ignition too quickly I cannot get the ready light to come on. What I do to remedy, is to remove the key and re-insert in a slow deliberate manner and turn the key to start and hold it there for a couple of seconds. This has worked for the past few years. I think the problem for me is that the key length is not exactly the same as the original.

If you have another genuine key  maybe you could try that.

Hope this is understandable and helps
