How are your battery terminals? All grounds are present?

Did this just suddenly happen one day or did you buy the car with this condition?

I bought the car in this condition, but I was firstly able to get her running with just a jumper now she has a good battery and won't even crank. i replaced the negative terminal that runs to the starter, but the positive terminal and a few other wires seem to lead towards the fuse box and ecu unit?

What did you jump?

Sounds like you missed the cable from the starter B+ terminal to the battery positive.

What did you jump?

when I was buying her, I was jumping her from the actual terminals having the plan of buying a battery soon, but then after I get her a battery, she would have headlights on and everything but wouldn't crank at all.

Sounds like you missed the cable from the starter B+ terminal to the battery positive.

the wire running from the starter to the positive cable was having a contact issue in the beginning but after fixing that issue it still could give any signal of anything.

You missed a connection. Did you get the ground to the trans bolt right next to the starter?
