Recently I've been having trouble starting my gst, when I go to start it, it will click. If I keep jogging the key eventually it will start. I can hear the starter relay clicking when I jog it, so I suspect this is the problem. Any idea where I can get one of these? I've tried searching online but can't seem to find any.

I've also made sure my battery connections were good and replaced the starter as well.
 
You know where the starter is? There is a little one wire clip that slides onto a metal tab. That gives your starter solenoid +12V when you hit the key. Check that to make sure it gets power when you try to start it (unhooking it would be a good idea so as not to accidently start it)

My bad, just read that last part about replacing starter.

In that case, try testing the starter relay and see if it's getting its signal

Ah-ha! Even a pictorial on how to do it...

The starter relay is normally closed and only clicks (energizes) if either the factory alarm or clutch pedal position switch activates which DISABLES THE STARTER. For normal starting the starter relay doesn't energize at all. So check those 2 items. Or you can just bypass the relay by removing it and jumpering the black/red wire to the black/yellow.

I've got the clutch safety switch unplugged. I'm not sure about the alarm, I've never used it or anything. I'll try jumping it and see what happens.
