Twenty years is a long in the age of car parts. That single click when turning to start indicates a problem with the starter/solenoid. The fact that the engine turned over, I'm sure slowly, when you eliminated the relay means nothing, just a path of lesser resistance. Have the starter/solenoid checked out.
