Put a voltage meter on your battery to see if the voltage drops really low when you try to start the car.

check the ground straps especially at the engine, as I recall there were issues where people had to add another ground to the engine block. also make sure all the power and ground connections are clean and tight and free of any corrosion.
Did you check fuses in the secondary fuse box location? (behind dashboard side cover, driver side)

Thank you for your replies. The battery is brand new, it was just replaced.Also, I’ve checked the ground in the trunk as well as the fuses, but not the engine strap. I’ll check that out along with a voltage test.
