Starting issues

Hey guys I've scoured the Internet trying to figure out why sometimes my pickup won't start when I turn the ignition it doesn't happen very often maybe once every two or three weeks but just out of nowhere it won't start but if I jump the starter solenoid when it won't start with the ignition it starts right up I was thinking maybe it was the ignition itself but it's brand new practically thanks guys

Recommend cleaning the connections on the solenoid on fender. If the problem still
occurs, stick on another solenoid, they are not expensive. An intermittent issue
is tough, but if you can jump around the solenoid, it suggests faulty solenoid.
