Throwing parts at a problem can get expensive quick!!!!

Lets assume it is charging correctly and battery posts are tight.
When you have time do the diagnosing the charging system sticky.

Next check and see what voltage you are getting at the green wire on the starter solenoid when you are pressing the start button.

If you get nothing go back and check the starter relay.
Check the adding a relay sticky to see what post is what and you should be able to figure out what voltages you should get on each.

Let us know what you find.
