    Just because your lights inside come on doesn't mean your battery is at full charge. You need to take a volt meter & check for at least 12.65 volts. If you don't have that you need to put a charger on the battery. If you can not achieve that voltage then you need to have the battery checked out. If you have at least 12.65 volts then I would look at the starter as the problem.

    Check your main relay. probably needs to be re soldered
