Help with intermittent no-start

[Talus]

My wife's car ('93 mazda protege 5-spd) did not start this morning, but soon after it started right up. I just went out and played with it and I couldnt get it to start. All the lights and radio work but when you turn the key, nothing but clicking (like a dead battery). I threw a charger on and got it charged up and still nothing. It acts like a loose connection on the battery but they are all tight with good ground and everything. I pulled all the fuses and they are all good. At this point I am thinking ignition switch or starter connection but I dont know if I am missing anything. It's dark and cold and I dont have a voltometer so I am limited on my diagnosing.
Any help is appreciated.

Check the connection to your starter.

That's what I'm thinkin but it's late and I'm drunk, so I might have to work on it tomorrow

Honda's are notorious for having failing main relays because the solder points just get weak and will randomly not start. Not sure how a Mazda works, but maybe check something like that. :)

Any idea where the main relay would be located?

[STIBungy]

Not a main relay problem.

On almost all the cars I've worked on, when the starter clicks, the battery is dead.
Try charging the battery over night and clean all the posts.

Read his post again. He has a good charge. All electricals work. Starter only turns intermittently.

I suggest checking the starter cable/wiring and then the starter relay.

A few people have trouble on Mitsus with the starter solenoid failing and just going click. If you fuck with the key enough it'll finally crank. Next time it happens, put a voltmeter on the starter solenoid and see if it's getting 12V or higher, if not the problem is elsewhere. If it is getting full voltage, it's probably the culprit.
