Maintenance/Repairs

Am very new here and do not see anything online that seems to help.

I have a 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited w/ 33k miles on it…4.0 engine. Have had it a little over a year. Last Fall, it started having issues whenever we had a lot of rain. Would not crank at all. Replaced the battery and clutch switch, which seems to helped, but is now doing it again. I turn the key and all of the lights come on, but there is not even a click. If I coast it off and pop the clutch, it starts right up. Once it dries out, will start w/ the key without an issue. Have an appt w/ the dealer, but they cannot get to it until Thursday, but I have to drive to work until then.

I took it to a friend who is the manager of a garage, but he cannot find anything wrong.

Does anyone have any ideas at all?
