I found the neutral switch and moved it to neutral to see if it would crank on any other gears and no it doesn't. I looked over the fuse in the fuse boxes and everything seem to be working. I also checked the run and crank

My dashboard when the key is on the on position.

Geez, replace those terminals asap. Not the right battery(bci86) however it's only 2yrs old (10/18).

"Geez" is right. There must be a bazillion posts here about the OEM Battery Terminal Connectors being garbage, and your ground connector is corroded OEM crap.

Do not cheap out on the battery terminal connectors, everything depends upon a strong consistent battery connection. Replace them both, they look like chit, and when you loose proper ground...... = no start.

Thoroughly clean the battery terminals before installing the new connectors.

Yes, I'm going to go out and buy some new terminals and have it changed. I have a bad feeling about my negative terminal.

I can see that, also missing the cover. Also eliminate the extra positive wire to the battery and properly clean/secure the wiring to the terminals. Here's mine replaced 8 years ago, never a problem since replacement:

Take that battery with you when you buy the terminals. Autozone carries them and tests them for FREE. Only problem, there's only an 18month FREE replacement on AcD Batteries.
