Begin with the basics.
Not trying to give you a hard time or anything of the sort.

But the beginning of the basics in the OP's case is to make sure the battery is good.
It is the power source for the starting circuit.
Clean and tight cable connections are of course necessary for proper current flow.
If the OP's battery checks out as good then I would suggest doing a voltage drop test of the starting system.
A voltage drop test will tell you if the issue is a bad cable, a bad connection, or a bad component.
All that is neede is a Digital Multi Meter.
No need to disconnect or disassemble any connection or component and run the chance of creating an issue where none exists.
