Macbook 13' trackpad click not working goes on and off. It will work fine and every once in a while the click will stop working, but the tracking will still work. I have opened it up and it is plugged into the logic board. Everything else works great I ran hardware test and It came back 100% okay.
Is this a good question?

Since it's not consistent I would consider two possibilities, a failing trackpad and/or a swollen battery.
If the trackpad is failing you could see inconsistent behavior in either tracking or clicking.
If the battery is swollen it could be applying pressure to the backside of the trackpad, making it very difficult to click. You can check this by removing your battery, placing it on a flat surface and checking to see if it wobble's easily or if it seems to sit flatly. Obviously if it wobbles you're looking at a swollen battery that should probably be replaced. While the battery is out of the Mac you can power the Mac on temporarily to see if clicking is working properly.
Hope that helps!
