Check the battery by getting it tested and check the positive and ground connections. The main ground point to the battery is located behind the A/C compressor, you can access it from the driver side fender well pretty easily. Sometimes, these cables can get corroded under the cable insulation and you wouldn't know it. I also wouldn't rule out the battery unless you already tried replacing it to solve the issue.
