Thanks, I’ll check the cables out first, it’s frustrating when a car won’t start.
I saw a post where a guy took a 12-volt battery and had it hooked up as a jumper. The pos. to the frame, the neg, to the solenoid the wire to another starter button that would spin the starter real fast since it wasn’t wired to the system it would not interfere. Every once in a while he would put a trickle charge on the 12-volt since it was only drawing. If I can get that entire procedure straight I may try that if the cables don’t help, His only warning was do not hit both buttons at the same time. He had his in the middle under the dash to prevent hitting it.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
