2001 malibu wont start

My 2001 Malibu has decided not to start. I have had occasional run-ins with the PassLock system so I know its not that. However, it is acting the same way. Engine will crank and crank with nuthin happenin. The big difference here is no "idiot lights" come on when ignition is turned on. The only other odd thing I noticed is radio says "cal err" on the display. All other accesories (power locks, windows, radio, and so on) are working fine. I have un hooked the battery and re hooked with no change. Any thoughts??

Sounds like the key switch.

after some fiddlin around, and pushin and pullin on the ignition switch, it did indeed start...thanks
