    I suspect the battery is bad. Most auto parts stores will test and charge batteries for free. Be prepared to buy a new battery. You also want to clean the battery terminals and cable connections with abrasive cloth. If the problem persists, clean the main ground and the connections going to the starter motor. Ensure the battery cables don't have any hidden breaks or hidden corrosion.

    Perform an Ignition By-Pass Test, where you connect a 12 AWG wire, or remote starter switch, from the positive battery cable to the "S" terminal on the starter motor solenoid. If the starter motor cranks, the problem is with the ignition switch, neutral safety switch, or wiring. If the starter motor doesn't crank, replace the starter motor.
