Default timberwolf won't start

i have a '92 timberwolf that won't start, the battery is charged, there's fuel, air and compression. I think its the starter, because when i press the starter button it cranks slower than normal, sometimes it just makes a clicking electric sound. i don't have a pull start, so i can't try starting it that way. is it the starter? or could it be something else?

Check your starter relay under the left side panel, it could be shot and in need of replacement

????????????????????????????????will it crank peroid you know you can roll start it put it in 5th gear and get some one to pull you or roll it don a hill hold your gear shifter up just a little and when you get the speed up easy it down it will crank but i dont suggest doing this 2 many times just in cases were your stranded or just trying to see if she will even run

Trailblazer, if when you hit the starter button it clicks and the battery is fully charged then it more than likely the starter relay. Try undoing the pos and neg terminals first and cleaning them very well. If that does not work than try replacing the starter relay

The relay should be under the leftside panel. follow your pos (red) wire from the batt. it should go to the relay
