You need to verify that you have a fully charged battery and good connections. Are the cables clean and tight? Do the headlights come on? And are they bright?Try jiggling the battery cables while someone tries to crank it. It could be the starter, starter relay, bad connection, ect. Let's check all connections first and make sure that you have bright lights. Do you have a multi meter? Can you check the battery voltage?
