Replace the starter power solenoid install on the passenger side fender right behind the battery. Usually it cracks and moisture causes it to stick.

Bad ignition switch or starter solenoid
Try an ignition switch.
The starter solenoid, or ignition switch is bad, and either one needs to be replaced.
The starter solenoid, despite its name, is not part of a vehicle's ignition system. It is used to send electric current to the starter motor, engaging the engine.
A starter solenoid can be bypassed by connecting a jumper wire between the battery and ignition posts on the starter. This will cause it to spin immediately without using the ignition switch.
Yes
The starter solenoid on a Honda Element is integral to the starter. It cannot be replaced without replacing the starter as well.
The starter solenoid is located on top of the starter. It is the small cylinder attached to the starter. It is a part of the starter which can be replaced/repaired independent from the starter itself.
there is no relay for the starter. there is a solenoid (switch) and ignition switch. the solenoid is part of the starter (small cylindrical shape above starter housing. the solenoid has the battery and ignition connections). and the ignition switch is where the car-key goes. you need at least 8v from the ignition to the solenoid for the starter to operate. use a multimeter. otherwise check your starter - battery connections. otherwise replace the starter. otherwise, take off the starter and inspect inside the starter housing. if the starter is clicking but not turning the engine the starter teeth aren't engaging with the teeth on the flywheel. get a manual to the car here: http://www.germanautoparts.com/Books/Volkswagen
Starter solenoid is a part of the starter itself, the ignition relay can be found in the main electrical control panel under the hood.
