Your saying, there is no starter action, when you first turn the key, to start position? I'm just trying to figure out if it cranks good and won't start, or it won't even crank?

I found a picture of your relay box. By placing your hand on the suspect relay, maybe you can feel the vibrations when it is clicking, to pinpoint which relay. If there are multiple relays, sometimes, they are the same and you can swap relays. I can't see your relays from here, you have to decide if they are the same. If the problem is the wiring circuit to the relay, swapping won't help anything.

Did you check for trouble codes?

It could be about anything. Which relay is doing the clicking? If that is a heated 02 sensor, unplug it, see if it helps.

I'd have to check the circuits for the coil side of relay, voltage and ground, your intermittently losing one or the other, not sure why?
