Based on your description, it sounds like you may be having an issue with your starter. I would recommend having your starter inspected by a qualified professional to determine if it is working properly. This will involve using a digital multimeter to see if battery voltage is reaching the starter. If so, the starter has failed. If not, the wire between the battery and the starter may be faulty.
