Hello, I'm Danny.

It sounds like you are having an issue with the starter solenoid which is a part of the starter motor. If you remove the starter motor from your vehicle auto parts stores will test for free. Here is a tutorial showing how to remove and replace a starter motor and one for solenoid function:
