Maybe you run the battery down? Use a digital multimeter across battery posts, everything off. Take a reading, the generic spec for a full charge is around 12.6 volts. Leave the meter leads hooked to battery, have helper turn key to crank. How far does the voltage drop? Shouldn't drop below around 9 1/2 volts. If the battery is down, take it off and get it charged. Can't troubleshoot anything unless the battery has a full charge.
