My MacBook Air Trackpad started working again and then stopped

There's a possibility that the battery is swelling and putting undue pressure on the underside of the trackpad.

My 2018 MacBook Air's trackpad hasn't been clicking for maybe over a year now? I've tried to clean round it to get it to work again and it just hasn't fixed anything. Tried to slide the paper trick underneath but couldn't get it under.

That will only work for the older trackpads which had actual physical movement....2017 and earlier MBAirs. The 2018+ models have Haptic Feedback trackpads which don't have any physical movement....it is all simulated with the Haptic Feedback.

Anyway, just now my MacBook died so I plugged it in to charge it and it turned back on. As I logged back in and started to use it, the trackpad suddenly started to click but a couple of seconds later it went back to not clicking.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do or what could be causing it?

Hard to say. It is likely the Trackpad is just bad. Follow the advice provided by @D.I. Johnson

Please let us know what happens.

Thanks for the update.
