Default 1997 Blazer won't turn over

I have a 1997 blazer and when I try to crank it over there is a clicking sound at the relay box. The battery is charged. I was wondering if anyone could help I'd really appreciate it. Also if anyone knows what two wires goes into fuse block for the crank fuse... Thanks

When I go to start it the only thing it's doing is clicking at the relay. It's not getting to the starter or anything. I got the dash out n traced all wires. I don't no if this sounds right but it clicks at the relay n seems like after the relay it doesn't go any further. I just don't know man.

Something else I realized and not sure if this is right... When I turn the key to start position the back up lights come on.

Sounds like you have a wiring issue. So it just clicks at the relay and the reverse lights come on? Make sure youre all the way in park. Try turning the switch on and put it in reverse and check to see if your reverse lights come on like they are supposed to. Then make sure its in park all the way.

Yep just clicks at the relay. There's a purple wire that makes the reverse lights come on. I'm not sure were this wire is suppose to go tho.

I see where pettyfrog is coming from hes suspecting a bad nuetral safety switch.
Im just wondering have tried replacing the relays and check all your fuses underneight the dash and if theres a fuse box under the hood I would check all those.I would also trace your ground wire from the batter to the frame and make sure its getting a good connection.Man I hate wiring and electrical problems.Im going through a major wiring issue on my Jimmy also.
