93 cavelier 3.1 L

car sat for a month and now i cant start it....
i tried jumping it and its like the starter doesnt have enough to turn it over......got the starter tested at autozone and it tested great...tried turnin the engine over on the main pulley w a ratchet and it turns over freely......starter gets fulll voltage....

there is a little grey relay on the inside of the fender by the battery...i pulled it open and one connector looks burnt.

IS this my problem?
what would have cuased this??

your help is greatly appreciated
