Hello,

Most likely it is the Start Relay Selenoid, it is located on the fender well near the battery, just follow the positive cable to it will only be about 6 - 10 inches away.

Make sure key is OFF. Then with a screw driver or something with an insulated handle touch it across the 2 large terminals. If it turns over replace that part.
