Yep... the're just a big switch, and many times they go bad by binding up and not making good contact. If you turn the key over to start and hold it there, then tap on it a little, sometimes it will unbind, make contact and your starter will take off, then you can be reasonably sure its the selenoid. The sometimes working sometimes not, and the clicking is typical of a starter selenoid going bad too.
