Default STRANGE STARTING HABITS (part 2)

(75 coupe) It does it only at times but doing it more often now when I shut off the car & go to start it again the ignition has no power but when I jump the solenoid starter the power to the ignition comes back on I can tell when the fan blower kicks on I go turn the key & it will start up! I have changed the starter 3 times The starter on it now is a hi torque power master all help appreciated

(PART 2) thought I found the problem yesterday in one of the wires to starter replaced it no luck! BUT GET THIS I can tell it's going to happen because the raido picks up engine noise & you can bump the starter with ignition while running but wont ingage it.
