Getting the Wheeling Fever

I guess I spoke too soon. Went out this morning and its doing the same darn thing as before. Turn the key everything else is fine but just the starter relay clicks (or what I'm assuming to be the relay). So in an attempt to "tap" on it I broke the top of the relay housing, actually cracked it. Tried it again and it did the same thing. I had a friend turn the key while looking in the housing and it is moving but apparently not ENOUGH. I cut the top off of it and exposed the spring and slider I had the key on and NO CLUTCH pushed in (because I was out side the vehicle) I put the tip of my pencil in between the copper connector and the slider....started right up.
Here is my question, is this the starter relay? its located on the passenger side of the truck on the fender wall mounted on the outside of an unpainted bracket. There are several other relays under this bracket this one is the ONLY one mounted on the outside of it. I know its fairly safe to assume its the starter relay but If someone could confirm this I would appreciate it. I was thinking it also may be whatever this relay is receiving juice from that is not allowing ENOUGH to fully engage it. Like I said when I turn the key its clicking but just not enough to catch, but when I do the pencil thing it engages and starts. Thanks for any help.
