send me a picture of it, i might buy it.

It sounds like the same problem I had... car would randomly not start then after the 5th or 6th time it would but then it wouldn't start again. I replaced the lock cylinder and got new keys, spent about $200 bucks or so just to find out it was the ignition relay which was $10 bucks. If you haven't already like everyone has said you should switch the 2 relays. I had to do this back in August. My car is currently at my parents house and my dad called me this morning telling me it's doing it again. He switched the relays and it was fine. Now I just have to find out what is draining my ignition relay so bad. But try the cheaper/less obvious things first before you go out and spend a lot of money on something that might not work either.
