Turn key,
instrument lights come on in usual way
not so much as a click from starter though,

try key a further Three times

could be a dirty connection on the switch wire on the starter solenoid. (the small wire that puts 12 volts to the solenoid to pull it in)

its more than likely the actual ignition switch. the white plastic thing in which the key turns wears out and you sometimes dont get the full 12v across the switch.
