Starting problem???

I own a 99f350 psd 4x4 crew automatic. I was experiencing starting problems so I replaced both batteries and for a week all starts were fast and powerful. Today no start. Jumped the batteries, no start. Just a click under the hood near the brake master cylinder. Tried many things, cleaned and tightened terminals. Finally moved the shift lever from park to nuetral and back to park and then it started perfectly. What might cause this and what part do I need to look at? Or is it just a chance occurence?

Thanks
Scott
