Check your grounds and your starter fuse in the relay box mounted to the battery tray...

Time to check your battery cables then. Look for corrosion or frayed cables.

ok the battery cables look fine, no fraying, not corrosion, no nothing. anything else it could be. and do you know where i could get new battery cables so i could possibly change them and see if it does work after that. any ideas at all on what else to do?
