Master Mechanics step inside-no crank no start 98 Civic (random)

[muddywings]

Solved it-
Drum roll please.......
I finally got two more no crank no starts and trouble shot the problem (the first one that happened after the original post happened about two weeks ago but wanted a second time to confirm).

Both times, same formula-
No crank, no start
Tapped on the starter switch which is exposed as I took off the steering column cover-no change.
Tapped on the main relay-no change.
Opened the hood, took a ballpeen hammer to the starter, left the hood open, jumped back in the car and tried again-instant crank.
I guess today's warm weather helped push it over the edge again.

For those who advised 'starter' you won the internet for the day.
