Same issue...turn key...NOTHING. With multiple attempts, was able to often get it to fire. No 'clicking' or any other sign that a connection of any kind was being made (lights dim...etc)
Read somewhere to replace the 'cheapest' part first....so purchased an OEM starter relay. Have had about 10 starts in a row with no issues.
Now...starter is still turning 'slowly' (have a brand new battery)...so starter may be unhealthy (have a new one inbound already). Not sure if a bad relay can cause a starter issue....or if a starter issue can cause a bad relay....but preparing to fix it all.
