usually the relays click because of low voltage,
if you KNOW your battery is good and fully charged, before you spend any money,
make sure ALL battery positive leads & negative ground wires are tight and clean, often corrosion is unseen,
until you remove for cleaning and a corroded terminal can and will stop full voltage & Amps getting to various starter componants,
If no different afetr leaning, then look at chnging things out,
remember, do the Free or cheap things first,......

Bosh hasn`t made those relays in years, they sold the business to Tyco.
If you buy one from the aftermarket, make sure it is waterproof.
If you have a dealer near you just get one from them, it will be better than most of the junk out there.
Now tell us what you are working on....
