I am needing your help! I have kept my battery on a trickle charger, When I press on the floor switch to start the engine, Nothing happens. The starter does not engage or make a sound. I have put jumper cables to a fresh battery to the one in the car and it will make an attempt at starting to move the starter but that is all. I have pulled all the plugs and was able to easily turn the engine over. I put the plugs back in and again nothing happens. Is it the battery or the starter or something else? Looking for some input????

Thanks
