You need to check the wires at the starter. Just make sure the ground is off the battery or you might get a decent shock. None of the terminals may be loose.

Then check the wires at the battery positive terminal. Clean off any corosion and make sure the wires are not broken.

If you have access to a volt meter, check the voltage at the starter and battery. The battery needs to be above 10V for the starter to activate. Lights take any voltage.

Turn off the radio, the daytime running lights, the cabin blower, and anything else that can draw voltage.
