car does not start sometimes
This started happening a few days ago. I went to start my car one morning before work and the starter would not turn. After work I tried it and it started up just fine. The next day it worked fine as well. Yesterday I tried starting it and the problem came back. I did notice a clicking sound coming from the engine bay. I replaced the starter relay yesterday and it starts but I tried starting it right before I changed it and it started fine. My problem now is that my car is unreliable. Any tips would be great, what else can I check?
Battery and alt seem fine
Security light does not stay on so no vats

I had the exact same problem that left me stranded at gas stations and stores at least once a week for a while....it was the battery connections vibrating loose. Even though I could only turn them 1/4 turn tighter the difference was night and day.
