Additional thoughts: Not enough current activating the solenoid could also be a problem. Low current might keep the solenoid contacts from making good strong connection. Check the wire connection to the solenoid to see if it is loose or corroded or has frayed wires. (This is also a good idea to do with all of the electrical connections, including the fuse contacts, in the engine compartment and trunk. Making sure all the electrical connections are clean and tight will eliminate a lot of reliability headaches down the road.) If you have a good alligator clip lead you can connect this directly to the solenoid to trigger the starter and see if that gets rid of the present problem.
