Hi there!
Randomly when you go to turn the key nothing happens. At this point only jump starting it will work.

Steps taken
Replaced the battery 5 months ago. Load tested the battery ok
Checked the voltage when car is running over
14 volts (means alternator is charging)
Replaced the starter

Could run for a few days then randomly not start.

Please help. Starting to go insane.

Inspect and test the starter relay and the ignition switch.

Thank you for responding. I forgot to tell you before I did swap the relays around the starter & the horn relay since they both had the same number stamped on them. I will take the instrument bezel off now to check the starter switch. How do I do this, am I checking voltage when the switch is in the on position. (12v)?
Thank you again
