George,
I would submit for your consideration that the fact that the starter
starts to work after tapping the brakes or flashing the lights is just
a coincidence. Have you tried tugging your left ear?
I would suspect the keyswitch contacts or the wiring connectors
related to the starter solenoid. Check for loose/corroded connections
or dirty contacts in the switch. The "stirring things up" theory is an
old wive's tale. (No disrespect to married ladies of advances years
intended .)
Also double check the battery connections.
