Hello !

That`s a "False Contact" for sure, check the connection at the starter be sure that is tight also remove both battery connectors and clean the battery posts use some sandpaper if possible also check your connectors even if they are "sealed" sometimes they get corrossion inside and "get insulated" (I saw some cases) and replace them if faulty, that should do it!
If the problem persist remove the starter and bench test it could be that the solenoid its faulty and need more "juice" to push the gear and start the motor (starter motor).

Good Luck!
