1998 Saturn SL2 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 130k miles

I have the same problem with my 98 SL2. Intermitantly wont start wont crank. I replaced battery, starter, alternator and both cables. The car could start 30 times without issue then not start even when trying to jump it. Had it towed twice, once it started after we took it of the truck. Thinking ignition switch or netural safety switch. Did not know about a starter relay. How do I find that guy?

Wife is frustrated. I was a mechanic for years and I can't get past this one.

No crank at all/nothing/nada:

Could be the starter, starter relay, park and neutral switch and ignition switch assuming the battery and connections are good.

Location for the starter relay:
1998 Saturn SL2 L4-1.9L DOHC VIN 7
