Mitsubishi Eclipse Click Problem

For the past year I have had a recurring problem with my car. It will click upon starting, then it will start. I have taken it to the dealership 3 times. The first time, June 2012, they said everything checked out but the battery cables were corroded so they cleaned them. I had no problem for several months. It began to click again in November 2012 and the battery was low enough to replace it (it was only one year old). I have not had any problems until now and it is clicking again on starting. I don't know how to get this problem resolved. I hate to have to wait until it completely dies and leaves me stranded somewhere. Do you have any suggestions?

it sounds more like a start motor iss than anything. it may be a dead spot on the armature.
