Default Mazda BT50 intermittent start

HI There
I have a BT50 and when starting it will not start until several turns of the key. I think it maybe the starter solenoid crapping out. I do hear a clicking sound on key turn and after several attempts it fires up but it is gradually getting worse. anyone have an idea of what maybe the cause

Bad starter. Remove your starter and have it bench tested at McAutoParts store. If it's bad, buy a new/reman one.

Make sure the battery cables are clean and tight.

1. Post voltage across battery terminals WHILE it's clicking and not spinning the engine.
2. Try a jump start from another vehicle or battery booster.
