Does it turn over (whir whir whir), or when you try to start it, is it like there's no battery in the car?

If you jump your solenoid, does it crank? If you try this, be sure the E-brake is on and the car is in neutral.

Have you used a jumper battery?

What is the exact battery voltage with the car off? And while trying to start the car?

I'd use a jumper cable to test your existing cables (new or not). Put the jumper in parallel with an existing cable and see if it will start.

You should find the issue to be the battery, battery cables, connections, motor ground, starter, and that's about it.

Good luck.
