90 E-250 intermitently wont start

It seams to start when it wants. One day its fine next day no start then the following day it starts again just fine. Changed out starter and ignition switch no change. What next?

It does not crank. Just a light clicking., Sounds like a solenoid clicking. When it does crank it starts right up. No drag or anything.,

Check all the battery cables they have to be pretty tight. Could be a bad relay too.
