A bad solenoid and/or starter causes what?
Ok, I have a good battery and alternator but I still cant seem to get enough energy for my car to start. All I here when I try to crank it up is a clicking noise. My radio wont come on and my blinkers wont blink. When I cut the blinkers on it just seems to lose all power. I am getting 12 volts in the Start position from one terminal and 12 volts in the RUN position from the other. What can be my problem. i tried the battery in my friends monte carlo and it worked fine. So I dont think its the battery unless my post need cleaning. , but tell me what you guys think.
Thanks in advance,

Bad solenoid/starter will cause a no start condition. But, you also say the blinkers won't even blink. Clean the terminals, clean/replace the battery cables. It 'sounds' like you have a good enough connection to get 12V, but not a good enough connection to pass some power--fairly common problem.
