I haven't checked the starter fuse yet, I think I'll do that before I buy one. But its still under warrenty with rock auto, but I don't know if it will be covered yet. I'll be giving them a call today.

Will the starter turn it over by shorting across the solenoid terminals? If it does then the starter is likely fine.

Just swap it with one of the other relays in the box under the hood. If it starts relay is bad, just don't put the suspect relay in a vital spot like the fuel pump.
