Have you rechecked all your connection,s to starter and battery cable,s tight.If it ran before has to be this.
It all so can be bad battery,even jumping want help it.
I haven't checked connections to the starter but checked connections also cleaned off positive cable and retightened but still same thing. I believe like you said in your second answer that may be bad battery but still wanted someone else opinion..Thanks
Batteries usually have a average lifespan of 5 years and it can be less in extreme hot or cold or heavy use conditions. I would recheck th connections first then get the battery tested if it checks out.
Well caught Walmart before they closed, purchased Battery, installed and car started right up! So diagnosis was bad battery. Thanks Guys for the extra input
