take them out and bring them to autozone. They'll check them for you.

When a relay is bad the last click is usually missing.

what if you do not hear no clicks. I am having the same problem. I just dont want to go get a new main relay if its not even it. But my main relay would not click at all or nothing will happen to it when I turn the key on.
