Does the solenoid click rapidly, or just once?
Rapid clicking indicates a bad/loose connection, a single click, the solenoid itself could be going bad. The solenoid is just an
electromagnet that when engaged, pulls a metal contact down to connect the battery to the starter, and cranking...
But if those contacts get old and burned, it could cause voltage to not pass the contacts everytime. A test light or voltmeter would confirm this pretty quick.
