93 Camry Starting problem

I have an intermitant starting problem with my 93 V6 Camry wagon. When it doesnt start I get no click or sound at all. The battery has a full charge and I have replaced the starter. No ryme or reason as to when it happens or when it will restart like there was nothing wrong. My next course of action will be to locate and replace the starter relay. Is it in the fuse box next to the battery and what does it look like? After that I suppose its replacing the ignition switch. Anybody have a similar problem and our solution. Thanks.

Took a look at my manual. From the drawing, it looks like the relay is up under the dash on the passenger side. When you changed the starter did you change the solenoid? Is the connection at the starter good? You might want to look here for some ideas....

Thanks for you reply .I did change the starter and the solenoid and cleaned all the connections. Am still in search of the starter relay.

If chaging the starter relay doesn't work, try checking the neutral saftey switch if it's an automatic (that's the thing that keeps it from starting in any other gear other than Park or Neutral, if ya didn't already know that). My 93 does that on occasion, but one wiggle of the shift lever and I'm good to go.

According to the drawing in my '93 manual, it should be up under the dash on the passenger side.

If you have a moment check out the following, although I'm not sure how similar a 93 Camry V6 might be to the subject Suzuki or a 91 Camry V6:

I apologize, 91 Camry wouldn't start this evening; so, apparently, "alternator not charging" is not the problem, as suggested in above link. As noted elsewhere, must be starter or starter solenoid or wiring thereof. I'm returning my rebuilt starter; had installed for 2+ mos. Non-start status returned about 2-3 wks. after rebuilt starter installed. Maybe I should buy new starter????

I believe herein lies the answer--bad, pitted, or worn out solenoid contacts:

I used contacts A&B on my 91 Camry 2.5L v6--2FVZE, is it?, but maybe should've used A&D--D seems more concentric with the plunger; both are 22mm wide. I just sanded the center round copper contact around the plunger with the fine side of a finger nail file, probably could have stood to have been a bit finer. But, mine seems to not suffer from this disease anymore.

As the site states, I wouldn't install a rebuilt starter/solenoid. I did this twice, and it ended up after a while doing the same thing--"1 click" and no start. Maybe it's inferior contacts, not sure.
