Default starter relay on a 97' cadillac Seville ?

I turned the key and nothing. Got good cables, battery, charge... so I
though it was the starter. The darn starter is under the intake
manifold! I wanted to make sure it was the starter before I went and
pulled the manifold to get to it. After further examination I noticed
a click when the key was turned. It's not coming from the starter
soleniod, it's coming from the relay. Could the relay be bad? how do I
know it's the relay and not the starter, so I don't have to pull the
manifold? Is the relay supposed to click like that? Any help/advice
would be much appreciated!

This is the antique VW group - you may want to find the caddy group.
