Default My 98 Audi won't start, need help!

Yesterday my 98 Audi A4 1.8T won’t start, will push start Briefly checked it today, the clutch safety switch is good, fuse is good, and battery is good. When I turn the key to ignition, I could hear one click from the starter relay under the dash panel, except it nothing else happened, no sound from the starter motor at all. The lights inside and outside are working fine. Can anybody give me a hint of what wrong with it? The Starter motor problem? I can’t reach and check the motor without taking some parts out of the way, does anybody have a DIY procedure of replacing the starter motor? Thanks a lot

yeah.. just replace the ignition switch.. just do it and hope that will fix it.. lol.. if your sure that its the starter relay clicking under the dash then you need to get a test light and see if the relay is sending output voltage. then youll have to get a test light on the starter and have someone crank the car and make sure the starter is getting battery voltage on the large wire and then make sure its getting battery voltage to the solenoid when being held on start position.. if you get juice everywhere just indicated then youve got a bad starter..
