Have the battery tested. Also check all the battery connections for corrosion. The connections must be clean and tight. Check the battery connection to the starter as it must also be clean and tight. Check the ground connections. Check that the necessary relays are seated in their sockets and free of corrosion. Always start with the basics first.
