Hello,

It sounds like wiring issue to the starter.
Inspect the battery cable that goes to the starter. Make sure it is secured and free from any corrosion.
Do a thorough inspection of the wire and report back what you find.

I have attached the wiring schematics below.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
