96 sc2 wont start

[emc73]

I have a 96 sc2, 201k, 5 speed, have never had a problem with starting. Now when I turn the key I get a click. Had battery leads off and cleaned up, had starter off and cleaned up and tested at Autozone, tested ok. Fuses under hood ok. Clutch switch seems fine. So does this have a starter relay anywhere? Or am I overlooking something else?

edit: so i've called 3 dealers and none seem to know if the car has a relay switch or not. So I'm REALLY lookin for some input from someone on this.......

Seems you did your HW on this one.

Theres a picture of the starter relay.

How does your battery test out?

Update: so the boneheads at autozone were wrong. the starter was bad. it would turn, but not strong enough to crank engine.
