Check your battery voltage with a voltmeter. Also check your battery grounds / battery connections for acid corrosion.

Corroded battery cables. Remove the battery cables, negative first, and clean the cable connections and the battery posts. If that does not help the battery needs charging or is defective.

turn the key? no start? check the battery connections. clean them make sure they are tight turn the key no start? turn on the headlights if you have bright headlights, the starter may be the issue. if you have no headlights, look at charging the battery after battery charge turn the key tries to start or clicks probably a dead battery if the car turns over and just won't start do you have gas?

Your 2003 suburban won't start It is not the battery What can be the problem?
What are the symptoms? Will it turn over? Can you turn the headlights on and are they bright? IS there a clicking sound? Did you clean the battery connections? The side terminals really need to be clean to send the best current to the starter especially in the winter. Try cleanign the battery connections FIRST before you go any further then check back with another posting on what you have checked.
Where are the battery posts?
On the top of the battery unless it has side connections which are on the side and are not posts but female connections.
