I went ahead and bypass the starter relay, only got a click from the starter. I tried a few times and heard one click each time I jumper across the two terminals. So does that mean the starter needs replacing?

I opted to replace the starter. It worked after the replacement. It was an easy install.

Once I did the starter relay bypass test, I knew it had to be the starter as the batter was tested successfully.

Hope this helps the next one with the same issue.

Thanks everyone for your help!

to circle back on that. bypassing the relay would indicate 2 things either bad starter or low voltage to the starter.
you could then do a voltage drop test and/or pull the starter and do a bench test by applying 12v directly to the starter.
many autoparts stores offer free starter testing as well
if the starter then passes testing and voltage is good, then you have to look at things like starter alignment with the flexplate which is often fixed with a spacer
and then it progresses to is the engine seized? it just goes step by step.
glad you got it sorted out.
