Answer John ,
You might want to replace the Module and Starter Solenoid. Both parts are relatively inexpensive and easy to install. Also check the engine ground and battery terminals for any corrosion.
If that doesn't clear it up then you should have the problem diagnosed by an ASE certified mechanic. Usually it ends up being a relay/wiring related problem. Since I'm not physically troubleshooting it would be hard for me to give any more advice.
John , hope this helps if you have any more questions please feel free to ask . Don't forget to rate my response to you.
