On my car, it was an internal break in the starter relay. Most of the time my
car was fine, sometimes nothing happened when I turned the key. One day while
working on it, I accidently discovered that if I held the white/red wire on the
starter relay (this is from memory, I think it was the white/red) a certain
way, the starter engaged every time. I replaced the relay.
