If all you hear " is the sound of the electrical relay sending power to the starter" then that eliminates everything but a problem with or at the starter itself. If that solenoid is clicking then that means the P/N safety switch is fine, ignition switch is doing its thing and any sort of anti-theft requirements have been satisfied.
