Troubleshoot starting issue

My cars acting funny.

I turned the key twice and only got a click. Then I opened the hood to check for bad fuses, found nothing, closed the hood. When I turned the key a third time the car started right up no struggle no problem.

Where should I start troubleshooting this? To me it seems like a loose connection but where?
 
I have the same issue try jiggling the alarm box and see if it will start. I'm not exactly sure on the issue yet sometimes simply popping the hood wil jolt it enough to start. If you have any ideas or solutions please let me know I've been chasing this down for a year now
