When I turn the key the starter clicks once then nothing else. Replaced the starter worked 3-4 times now its doing the same thing. Can't find the relay could someone tell me where that is or even if that is the problem. Or could it be the ignition?

Hi, when the problem occurs, did you try cranking in neutral? There is no relay. I'd have to make sure the battery has a full charge and the connections are good. With key in the crank position, the purple wire at starter solenoid S terminal, should be hot, If it isn't backtrack the circuit. Possibilities, ignition switch-- neutral switch-- wiring circuits.

Maybe a starter issue? Some of the national brand autostores will check the starter for you, if you take it off and take it to them. If you have good voltage at starter S terminal and starter bat terminal, and no starter action, I suspect the starter. You have to be sure about voltage and ground circuit. You may have to check actual voltage reading.
