does the lights come on but the motor does not turn, if it is this it can be the starter for the motor inside next to the motor is a started solenoid this starts the motor to run. when they start to fail you get a buzzing sound or a humming, eventually it just fails. also the motors are prone to fail after time, and they don't do replacements for this part
1- under the hood their is a two relays Fuel pump and engine cut off. locate both relays. Next time the vehicle will not start have someone inside the vehicle turn the key to start and if feel with your fingers the top of the relay and listen for the CLICK. It is possible that one of the relays is sticky. I would just replacement as they are only 10-12 bucks from most dealers and auto parts stores. If this does corrected the problem next time the vehicle does not start bang the gas tank with a sometime and try it again. If it starts after banging then you fuel pump motor is sticking
There are a number of possibilities but the easiest to check is if the brushes are worn down which would need to be physically checked or you could have a loose or broken wire in the motor block then you get on to the possibilities you highlighted which would require an engineer to test them.
Sounds like the motor or capacitor (next to the motor), the capacitor helps the motor to start, once running a switch inside the motor disconnects the capacitor from circuit.
wdhaflin when you replaced the starter switch, are you talking the start switch on the console, or the switch on the motor? Most times when this happens, the motor bushings are swelling from the motor heat and thus you get the hum. Yes turning by hand can get it going again. Back in the old days, I was taught to always try using a light weight oil on the shaft. Using a vacumn I would clean the lint out of the motor, then add oil to the motor shaft where it comes out of the motor. 3 to 4 drops is usually enough. If this didn't resolve it, then I had to replace the motor. Hope this helps.
