when I try to start my 2002 warior all I get is a clicking noise comeing from the starter relay, is the relay shot? Sometimes when i pick the backend upwards and drop it it starts fine, could the relay just be sticking? Or could there just be something else happening I did try a old relay that I had laying around although I get the same results! I have power the lights work just fine, but If I try to bypass the relay I get no spark at the realy and the engine does not try to turn over!

I have had the same thing happen on my Raptor and it has always been a loose connection. Unhook all the electric connections from the bat to the starter and clean the very good. Also look for a short.

Where did the title for this come from?

Most likely water in the system....pull it all apart (battery connections and electrical connections)clean and dry it all and grease the connections with dielectric grease.

The thing that is really wierd is that when i try to bypass the starter relay I get no spark, and if I try to go directly to the starter I get no spark also! Spark, not meaning at the plug I am talking about spark in general like zap zap.

well knock it off
that zap zap is very hard on the charging system. Power spikes like that will destroy your electrics.
Clean um properly before you really mess things up, start at the battery and work your way down checking all power and grounds.

well I have all the plastic of and all the wire's exposed I have cleaned of all of the grounds, I now have the batterie charging! The thing that really gets me is the fact that the starter will not turn the slightest bit or will not get contact at all with spark seems as if it is dead or if there is no ground for just the starter! Is it possible that the terminal on the starter is not making proper contact inside the starter?

Sounds like you may have gotten water or mud inside the starter. Pull it off, it comes apart very easily and you can clean it with some contact cleaner. I just rebuilt mine and it works like new now.
