Unless you had a spill into it I can't see that being the issue here.

@danj I don't understand why the keyboard and trackpad are working perfectly fine at the login screen!

Did you ever have a liquid spill onto your keyboard or trackpad?

Either the battery is pressing on the trackpad cable because its worn-out or you had a spill which damaged the trackpad. This series uses a single cable which carries both the keyboard and trackpad signals to the logic board.

I would check the battery using CoconutBattery to check the cycle count if over 600 cycles you may want to think about replacing it. In any case you’ll need to take the battery out to see if its bulged and inspect the cable underneath as well as the trackpad connections. Here’s the guide you’ll need to follow MacBook Air 13" Early 2015 Trackpad Replacement and here is the parts you’ll likely need to get MacBook Air 13" (Mid 2013-2017) Trackpad Cable and MacBook Air 13" (Mid 2013-2017) Trackpad if the battery its self needs replacing here’s the battery MacBook Air 13" (Late 2010-2017) Battery

@mirsameer - Try just replacing the cable alone.

Did you try to reboot your laptop? Usually these kind of things on Apple products are not fixed through different methods. You’d have to take it to a Apple service shop to get it internally checked.
