Body Electronics Module (BEM), sometimes also known as Body Control Module (BCM).
Give left hand side of steering column a whack. That's what mine needs sometimes to start. They suffered from dry solder joints inside (apparently, if other posts are correct).

100% its dry solder joints in the BEM
Just above your left knee, on the dash....give that a little tap if u get in trouble, and it wont crank... In the long run....you will need to replace the BEM and redo the keys |

has anyone thought it could be an intermitant short causing the battery to drain sometimes overnight???? or is this only a problem with older cars?

well i dont know much about bem's but check the brushes in your alternator like they aare like $4 each to replace, loose terminals will drain power or their is a short in your electrics somewhere
