Wouldnt start???

My 4runner was having trouble starting about a week ago so I got a new battery. Its been doing great, but when I went to start it today nothing happened. It made no noise or anything. The dome light was on also. I turned the key back and forth a bunch a times and gave it hell. Then all of a sudden it started just fine. Do ya'll think there is a loose wire or what?

Do a little troubleshooting and find the cause of the problem before throwing money and parts at the problem... Could be as simple as a bad wire or connection or a worn contact inside the starter.
