Default Possibly my ignition switch

Hello everybody, I got a 93 civic dx and I just got a new main relay because it use to start then stall. The main relay solved that problem, but now sometimes my car won't even turn over. Almost as if i was trying to start the car without the clutch depressed. All the battery CEL come on and I still here all the main relay clicks. I was told I should look into my ignition switch. If anyone has any experience with this problem your help is well appreciated.

Thanks

Charge the battery, and clean its connections. If fine, then check the starter and clean its terminals and connectors.
