Click No Start and the Radio Flashes on and Off
So I have had the problem that at nights the headlights would just freak go out.
I have also just got the blower motor hooked up and working again, and everything was working fine.
The other day I went to start it and it just clicked. Well I ended up replacing the battery(because I knew the one I had was bad), and pulled the Starter relay and put it back in and it fired right up.
So I ran it, ordered a relay and it worked good for the last few days.
Then it started again, So I would tap on the starter and plug in and unplug the old relay and it would start, did that about 3 times.
And Now its not starting even with that, put the new relay in and nothing. Its also now flashing the radio on and off in accessory and while trying to start. But the fan works fine no issues, flashes or even loss of power.
So with all that background, Im just wondering if to anyone it sounds like one issue or separate ones.
Does it sound like I need a new starter or a new relay plug?
Any little bit of insight would be appreceated

Start by cleaning all the connections on the starting circuit. Especially down at the starter itself. See if that helps.
If not, get the truck to a parts store, that can do a starter draw test. See what that has to say.
Check your battery cables as well. Might be as simple as one being loose.
