Turn key back and forth 3 times to start car

2011 Ford Focus SE - 200,000 miles - Automatic

Battery is good, alternator is good and replaced starter within 6 months.

Car doesn't start when trying to start car. Dashboard lights, headlights and radio etc. DO turn on and no dimming.

If I turn the key back and forth 3 times, then the car will start. I turn the car off and immediately, the car will start. If I leave the car for more that a couple of hours, I have to turn the key back and forth 3 times to start.

Do you have any ideas as to what might be the problem?

Well obviously it's some type of electrical problem. Could be a fuel pump relay. Could be the fuel pump getting? We could even be the ignition switch. Have all those tested first.
