Sometimes when i try to start my truck a clicking noise comes from the starter relay located on the passenger side under the hood mounted on the wheel well. what could be causing this and how could i test it. can i bypass this somehow and not cause more bad than good?

Try swapping the starter relay with a like one and see what happens and also check the clutch switch

I have pushed that safety switch on the left side of the steering wheel to bypass the clutch swtich and it still does it. But I will try to find one like the one on there. The only bad thing is that it only does it every once in a while. But it is starting to do it more.
