OK! I got it running! The problem was with the relay, not the relay being bad but the wires under the fuse box. If you look at rbattelle's diagram of the fuse box (the way it sits on here), I hooked a bridge wire from the bottom prong to the right prong and it works like a champ!
My next plan of action is to figure out why my relay isn't engaging like it's suppose to, perhaps burnt wires under the box I'm thinking.
With that said, we know that we can start or test the starter by energizing the the small brown wire that runs to the starter solenoid. Those who have manual transmissions must use extra precaution!
Thanks everyone for your inputs.
