Replace the battery terminals and ever since it would take a couple of ties to get it to turn over.
It has finally stopped turning over and ends with just a click. The head lights turn on, and I checked I battery connections.

It happened after replacing the cable end so that's where you go back to. If you just plopped one of those bolt on cable ends, that is likely your problem. Those things are for temp use at best. You should be replacing the whole cable with a dealer replacement.

It is a bolt on generic clamp. However it made the connection by supplying power to the lights so I thought it was ok

Lights take less than 20 amps. Your starter pulls WAY more than that. So being able to turn on a bulb doesn't mean much. Those generic clamps should be banned from stores in my opinion. They are pure garbage and have no business under the hood of anything.

Just posted the same pic of those ends..............
NO, Temp/emergency only if much like that and iffy. They do make quality end splices. Just now back from NAPA and they don't have the good ones anymore and cost about as much as a whole new cable, both ends get cleaned up and nice again. As Nick said, lights take nothing to light. Starter takes a fast wild amp draw so connections must be good,

At this point with those ends on there its cable replacement, not cable check. Unbolting the cables is pretty easy and then you have to see if the parts store has a proper one the right length with the right ends. If they don't you'll either need to call a dealer or ask a shop to build a set for you. Lot of auto shops don't do that, but places that work on heavy equipment usually do as its very common to have to build them.
Prices vary by region and individual shop, that would be something you would need to call and check on. For a no-crank it may be .5 to 1.0 hours labor for diagnostic depending on how accessable things are and how deep they have to go in the troubleshooting to pinpoint the issue.

That makes sense. How much should I expect to pay to have someone check the cables. I don't feel confident I could do it myself.
