Check all connections to make sure they are good and tight. Check the relay. Check fuses.

You should consider checking the terminals for tightness and clean the terminals if you haven't already.

12.7 voltage check does not necessarily indicate a good battery. When cranking, the amperage of a battery is what counts the most. A battery can have a weak cell and still register 12.7 volts. You need to have the battery load tested at your nearest reputable auto parts store.
