Default 97 Caravan - Intermittent Start?

Hello,

Recently returned to Caravan ownership after a head gasket killed my '93. We have a '97 3.0L with no options. Twice in the last weekitfailed to start. Of course, it will not do this when I drive it, only when my wife is late for an appointment. All accessories work, battery seems to have plenty of charge, but when the key is turned...nothing. Starter doesn't turn, no clicks, nothing. After several tries with the same results, she let it sit for a while, tried again, and it fired right up. From some of the reading I've done, it seems these vehicles seem to have more than their fair share of electrical bugs. Are there any known issues that might cause the above symptoms (ignition switch, starter solenoid, interlocks, etc.)?

Thanks!
