Cya, I moved your question to the Electrical Section. You should get better responses here than in the "Hello" forum.

I assume you have cleaned the battery connections. If one has been replaced and the cables are clamped, clean up that connection too. I just had the same problem and it was the clamp on the negative connector. I sprayed the cables with contact cleaner and re-clamped.
