Trent,

If you turn on the headlights, then trty to start it, do the lights remain on or do they dim? If they remain on, you are NOT losing battery power on the primary feeds or grounds, and may have a starter/solenoid problem. If the light dim or go off, you likely have a power or ground connection issue somewhere.
