Check your starter connections as well.

I agree with Mark, My Dad's BMW Motorcycle would do what you described
when the ground was loose. Check your battery connections.

This sounds like your battery is too weak to turn the starter
(therefore the solenoid just clicks, since the battery is so weak,
the lights flicker as well).
Are the battery connections clean and tight? Also are the chassis
and engine grounds clean and tight?

NEW PROBLEM:
I turn the key and I hear the starter solenoid makes a very rapid
clicking noise (I think that the solenoid is causing the noise).
The
cluster lights blink rapidly along with the solenoid. The starter
never
engages. Tonight, I also heard the fuel pump relay buzzing as well.
Anyone have any ideas? I'd really like to fix this problem
tomarrow. I
can always push start the car, but I don't want to resort to that.
Especially on a 1000k mile trip across the country.
