[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 1263612, member: 18388"] That does not necessarily sound like a starter problem to me... but indicates the first thing to do is check connections. That starter relay clicking indicates full current/voltage is not flowing. I also think most likely the starter relay is OK (for the moment). At this point, fully charged battery should read 12.8 V and all connections must be checked on the high current side.... i.e., ground cable to frame/engine, positive cable to relay, positive cable relay to starter, and at starter. If all those are clean and tight, then we're back to the starter relay (contacts inside may be somewhat compromised from use, but strange with only 20k but possible). Start here but don't spend $500 on a starter job until it is verified it is the starter. Professor Ionbeam's advice should also be heeded, all those voltmeter checks should be done too. You might find out the fix is free, i.e., a dirty connection or loose fastener........ let's hope so. [/QUOTE]
