Wow, sorry but I can't get through a "wall of text" all in caps with no punctuation to figure out what the original poster is trying to say. Guess I'm old school and like to see things with punctuation and easy to read structure.

When I teach I tell students that I won't respond to "text speak" messages - especially from future lawyers.

There could be a lot of things, check all the wiring to make sure there isn't a short, could be a bad starter, bad starter solenoid, bad ignition switch etc.

second that^

Maybe check to see how much water is in the battery. This time of year is rough on a battery. Just the weather change can kill one.
