Car not starting .. clicking noise from relay HELP

car not starting.. when I turn on the ignition it will come on for 2 seconds then off... I hear a relay under the dash that clicks ....seems to be the main relay that cuts all the power in the car but I don't know by now. Where it's located this relay. after turning a couple of times the the ignition the power comes back like a miracle and I can start the car.... PLZZZ help
