My car will randomly need to be jump started. All that is needed is to touch the cables to another vehicle. This happens like once or twice a month. Sometimes after sitting for days, sometimes after starting and stopping like 6 times in a shopping trip. The battery is only maybe a year old and I have has it tested twice and it is good. I have tried tightening and moving the connector cables but that doesn't make a difference. Just sometimes I come out from a site and when I go to start it up, the dash lights come on but turning the key does nothing. No clicking. I don't know where to start replacing to fix this problem. Help!

try resetting security system first if no manual look online. check items in pic for corrosion at connections or a bad relay.
