Intermittent Starting on 2010 RT

Hello Spyder Owners, and mechanics, My SpyderQueen will get me to point A but delays and leaves me stranded at Point B. The key turns over, she has a new battery and sometimes I push the starter button it starts and sometimes it won't. I had to leave it at a restaurant and went back hours later and it started right up. I had extra undercarriage lights added and we installed a new battery. Push button switch with an inline fuse holder. I'm thinking it's the starter switch, but I'm no mechanic. I'm just trying to narrow down the possibilities. Your expert advice is appreciated. Mary J.

Spyder Queen,
My 2012 RTS also has intermittent starting problem. So far only for a few minutes, but extremely problematic if one is in a Flagline presentation in front of 3,000 people.
You indicated that your problem has been fixed. What was done to fix it?

A Post Script here: This is the first time I've accessed this forum, and I'm unfamiliar with the process.

hi, Pkeyes101 welcome, I was new to this forum in March. I see my neighbor gave you the answer. It was my Starter switch. It was embarrassing and frustrating when it happened to me. The cost for repair was right at $800.00
Holy Cathair! $800! That's good to know before I contact my dealership.
I very much appreciate your input. Thank you!!
