since it clicks several times when it acts up the next time after the 1st click STOP & down at the starter itself jump the 2 terminals being careful not to touch the starter case. If the starter is good then go back up to the relay & clean all connections incl ground as double R suggested & last would be to R&R the relay as you mentioned. I would be inclined to think that the relay is bad IF all 6 ends of the big cables are clean.
Exactly what I would like to do but as Murphy's Law would have it, I'm not around when it seems to act up. I was hoping to either Jump start the car as you say or check for 12V at the Starter Solenoid when it just clicks. If no 12V at the Solenoid then it has to be the High Current side of the Relay not making good contact.
Ground: Good point. I will unbolt ,clean and reinstall the Relay itself to insure it is getting a good ground.
