I am having a problem with my 1993 Nissan 2wd pickup. When I turn the ignition to the start position I get a click in my Ignition relay. I can hook up a battery charger/ Jump starter and the pickup will fire right up. I have replaced the starter,battery,and checked the clutch switch. When I turn the ignition to the start position I have 12 volts to the starter but I still get nothing until I hook up the charger. If you could help I would appreciate it . Thanks.

If it starts fine by doing nothing but connecting a charger/jumper cables then it almost has to be an issue with the battery. Sometimes even a brand new one will be bad (not often) or you need to charge it before using it. You could try charging it or take it in and have it load tested. Again, if that's the only variable between start and no start then it almost has to be the battery.

BTW, welcome to NICO!
