Don't overlook the obvious. Check the positive and negative battery cables and make sure they are making a good connection. Take the cables loose and scrape the surface of the connectors and the posts of the battery so you can be sure they are clean and there isn't any corrosion interfering with the connection. A small wire brush would work well.

+1 on that, high humidity/moisture brings out the worst in battery connections,take em off the battery and clean them and the battery terminals till they almost shine. and also clean the grounding connection at the other end of the black ended battery cable.
