Ground problem perhaps?

Clean all ground points. Remove the cable(s), clean the end terminals on the cable(s), sand/clean each of the end terminal metal attachment points. Electrons (electricity) flow from GROUND (-) to POSITIVE (+) side of your battery.

EDIT: The most likely suspects are: Battery cable (ground=negative) to engine & battery cable (ground=negative) to chassis/frame. That's the starting point. Continue to locate any additional ground (-) terminal/cable points and clean them as well.
