Sounds like the ignition switch or the key is getting worn out. Although some people frown on this, try squirting a little WD40 into the lock to see if it eases things.

Replace the transmission position sensor (neutral safety switch is inside). It is under the hood under the shift linkage and is kind of triangle shaped with a big wire harness coming out of it.

when this happens try to start it in neutral. the trans. has a safety switch that will not allow the car to start in anything, but park and neutral. sometimes the shift lever gets a little out of line with the gear indicator. also try firmly shifting into and out of park a few times. this may flip the switch. good luck

start withe the harness you were wiggling, either you had a bad connection at one of the harness plugs or an internal short within the wires, do a voltage or continuety check on the live wires, an make sure you have a good ground

A friend of mine has a Dakota about that same year, he had to replace the computer. His was acting the same way he bought a reconditioned one from Autozone, I think for about $100.
