my car runs great but after driving it, it won't start back up. if i turn the key on and off real fast a bunch of times it sometime starts. it has a full charge all electrical things work but it just clicks. the clicking sound doesn't come from the starter what else could it be? is it my ignition or selanoid or starter. and my temperature light and battery light is on my cars doesn't get hot and my car has not lost any battery power at all

Hello
Thanks for the donation.

Check drive belts for signs of damage/loose fits. Also need to inspect battery cables and terminals. Ensure cables are tightened properly at both the battery as well as the starter and frame. Make sure terminals are free of any corrosion. If all is OK here, need to have starter tested. Most part stores do this for free. They will also test alternator and battery for free as well, on or off of vehicle.

Post results of tests and I will follow up.
