Try one more time, starts right up. accessories & heater fan works when in on position. New battery, alt works fine.

Answer
Are you getting any power to anything when this problem occurs, dash lights, headlights, etc. If not consider the ignition switch. If so, consider replacing the starter solenoid. It sounds like a loose connection. Where at? You will just have to look at all you're electrical connections.
