I just erased and installed os x yosemite from a usb but now everytime I use the trackpad, the cursor moves but when i tap or click it won't respond (ie. Exit out of window) what can I do.
 
It might be swelling on the top, the part of the battery that comes in contact with the track pad. Unless you can take out the battery to check, I wouldn't rule it out.

13 inch original battery. Not swollen. Fits perfectly still. But last time it said change soon.

The trackpad will stop working (clicking) if the battery is swelling from the top. Did you take it out to check? Even a small bulge is enough.

To make sure, puill it out and use the computer without it. If the trackpad behaves correctly, you've found your problem.
