Default Turn key, and nothing happens

This has happened a few times before and it seems like waiting a few min and it goes back to normal. Prob year and half ago it did it and had it towed in but can't remember what dealer said it was. It doesn't try to start or nothing. Turn key and the normal ticking under hood but trun to crank, and it stays silent. Any clues?

Contacts in the starter itself may be going bad too. Make sure all connections are tight and clean. Have you checked the output of the batteries?

It was the sensor that tells it's in park. That's why it wasn't startin. Ah, another $400 bill down the crapper.
