Measure your battery voltage and make sure it is high enough. Even though you say it is good, it may be weak. You should see about 14-14.5 volts across the terminals. Less than that might not be strong enough to start the car. The other accessories are not as demanding on the battery voltage and are not a good indicator. Also, make sure your cable connections both power and ground are corrosion free and tight.

I'd start at your cables. If your 100% sure your battery has good voltage with it should be 12.6 volts to minimum 12.4 volts. Then I would suspect your cables aren't making connection because lights should work.
