Sounds like you need to check or replace or clean your battery cable terminals or make sure they are not loose or frayed of have corrosion and check both ends for being tight, then try to jump it if not see if your battery has shorted out fully (lead inside melted down or corroded together). Have battery tested and if your not getting a charge to it while its running have the alternator tested.
