That sounds like it may be a poor connection in the circut. I suggest that you inspect and clean every wire connection from the battery to the starter switch/button and then to the starter and don't overlook the ground wires. Look at the woven wire strap between the solenoid on the starter to the starter main body. I found a broken one on my Expedition that had starting problems when I bought it.

Sounds like your switch might be bad, try pulling the wires and just crossing them yourself, if it kicks on it is just your switch
