check all connections,make sure they are free of corrosion,clean and shines like new,and tight.then you would need to test the battery with a volt meter or if it will jump start,take it to Autozone and have them test it,it's free.they can test the battery,alternator,and starter.normally if the battery is bad they would remove and install it for no charge,but not on yours!you have to jack the drivers side up,remove the front drivers side wheel,remove the inner fender cowling,turn steering wheel to the right,and the battery is mounted in there.
Check the battery cables for corrosion..if corroded clean them you can use a pocket knife to scrape them shiney clean..scrape the posts on battery to..reconnect them..be sure not to let the pos cable touch metal when you lay it down..and make sure they are put back tight..have someone jump it off for you let it run a bit to charge.. before you jump it..if its an older battery where theres caps on top gaining access to the cells..carefully pop them off and if water is low..refill with bottled water. Careful..this is battery acid in there but ive done this myself many times..its a temp fix till you can get another battery if needed. Cheapest route. Hope this works for you..
