Good evening,

I would start by load testing the battery.

If it passes, then make sure the cables are clean inside and out.

then we will need to do testing with a test light to see if there is power going to the starter solenoid. I attached a picture of the diagram for the starting system.

Let me know when you want to do some testing.
