Edit: car still won't work. All fuses are good, starter, alternator, and battery are all good but car won't crank. Starters selonid isn't even clicking. Car works fine when bump started.

I had an issue where my starter didn't have good of a connection so starter clicks but doesn't turn over 50/50 chance. All I did was clean most electrical connections relevant to ignition/starting engine, redone/cleaned grounds, bigger wires for some things. After all that, my 240 starts 100% so far.

Edit: You should also check if your alternator is charging. Who knows your battery might be slowly decaying due to your alternator not charging. Get a multimeter and read the alternator or the battery

was thinking somewhat the same thing, just wanted some input before I spent some time/or money on it, going to take out and test the battery since its a fresh battery, had some coolant leak onto my alternator so thats probaly a good idea to check too. thanks for the imput.

I had that issue when battery was done.

Check your battery health
