6 clicks, but motor won't crank over?

Tried the following:
- Battery is at 12.64V
- Connectors are clean
- Fuses are good

if your relays are good, starter is the issue. had same issue several weeks back. drove through high water and it started having issues. suspect armature has a bad spot or it has intermittent ground issues.
