After you have changed/checked the above put a 20a fused wire between the positive battery post and pin 30 on your starter relay.

How do you know the battery is fully charged? Green light on a trickle charger is not reliable. Before you start chasing your tail, pull the battery and have it checked at a battery supply/auto parts store. If they say it is good, then start chasing. Been down this road a lot this season, every battery was crap once put on a real tester. Your results may vary, good luck.

After you get the battery checked let us know, if the problem is not gone, we can get you through this, it is a simple system to troubleshoot.
