Sounds like a battery with a dead cell. The interior lights only take 9 volts to look bright, the starter takes 11-12V. The starter solenoid will click when the charge gets too low to spin the charger.

Window motors also need 12V, don't know why they would work when the key is out, but traveling very slowly indicates about 9V or so.

A dead cell means that a charged battery is only at 10V max. Find that meter!!
