Load test battery first. Replace or charge
slowly. Slow charge is best. Trickle charge is even better.
After the battery is known to be good and passes a load test, check the terminal ends and inside of cables, the thick red and black wires. Then you must test for any ignition key off power drain. It seems like a lot but it is not. With that tested you can test the starting system.
Starter, relays, ign. key, etc.... ok There is no guesswork, most of the time.
