2004 150 hpdi will not crank

[flabob1]

When turning the key to start nothing happens , no crank and no alarm. The switch has been changed with no help. Try starting again after 20 min or so and it will start. Also once working the switch a number of times and it started. So far it has always started after waiting or was I just lucky ?. I know there is a starting relay some where but I don't hear anything , could I ?. I'm 15 ft. away from the engine. What should I check when it not starting ?

Check for 12+volts at starter& solenoid with a dvm. Check battery connections,clean them up +&- posts,cables

I checked all connection and they were good. Replaced the start relay. Used it all day and started about 10 to 15 time checked good. So far I have to go with a bad relay ....I hope. But had a another problem that I posted ...never ends
