WELL..............IF both battery posts and the inside of the cable clamps are shiney clean and tight, I'd have the battery tested.

Where you didn't have lites or radio or other accessories, those battery posts/clamps/cables are the first most likely causes.

If it was the switch or the starter relay in the PDC, you should still have lites.
