Probably the battery or alternator. It could also be the starter malfunctioning but it is easier to check the cheapest and most accessible components first. Bring your battery to an NAPA Autoparts or similar and they will check it for free or even charge it up again. If it keep dying on you, then you have a problem with the electrical system. Next up on the list is the alternator. Take off the belt, unbolt the alternator and bring it to NAPA or similar again and they will test if it is broken or not. You can change it right there and bolt on the new one. Worst case your electrical system is shot and there is a fault somewhere in the system. Takes some time to find out the gremlin in the system, if you have the patience and the tools (electrical tester, light, etc...) then you might want to do it yourself. Otherwise, if you have exhausted all the options above, your only two choices are replace the wiring harness, (about 70-200 usd depending on car and maker) or bring it to a shop and ask them to figure it out, but make sure you tell them what you did and checked for so that they wont check over what you already replaced/fixed and waste time and money. Good luck.

You have a 1995 Chevy Corsica that won't start and the Lights come on and battery is fine but you turn the ignition and you get nothing Could this be the starter?
It could be the starter, keyswitch, neutral lockout switch, wiring connector or any of a number of other problems. Unfortunately you have to just track it down.
Does a 1990 Chevy Silverado have a starter relay you have replaced the starter and the switch located on the column under the dash and cannot find a problem with fuses or wires?
The starter relay is integrated into the starter. Have you checked the neutral lockout switch? If the neutral lockout switch is faulty or adjusted wrong the starter will never engage. It could also be that the starter wires are cross-connected. Using a volt meter, make sure you are getting voltage to the starter bendix when you attempt to start the engine. If not, start backtracking to the keyswitch to see where you DO have voltage.

Why does your Chevy trail blazer not start after replacing the battery?
Battery cable connections may not be tight. The starter could be bad. The starter solenoid could be bad. Check to see if the lights work. If they do, leave them on and try to start the vehicle. IF the lights dim, you have a bad battery connection somewhere or a bad starter.

The Starter, Is Bad.
What would cause a car to whine and crank when trying to start it after 8 or so idle hours you have replaced the starter it is a Chevy s10 2001?
Did you follow the starter alignment instructions when you replaced the starter? Are you getting oil on the Bendix? That could cause the starter gear to engage slowly. It is possible that the replacment starter has a problem. Also, if the previous starter had the same problem it could have damaged the gear on the flex plate.

1997 Chevy Camaro won't start i replaced the battery n it still wont turn over lights horn and everything work but when i turn the key on it wont start click gauges don't move nothing?
Assuming you have checked that the battery cables are clean and tight on both ends and you do hear a click coming from the starter area, I'm going to say the starter/starter solenoid is bad. If you don't even get a click it may be the neutral safety switch.
What to do when the lights in your Chevy Impala turns on and your car wont start?
The starter motor requires a great deal more of electrical current than do ordinary light bulbs. The lights working is not always an accurate measure of the battery condition.
What is wrong on a Chevy TrailBlazer 2003 that does not start all the time and the computer does not show that there is a problem and sometimes when I turn the key the dash lights come on. no starter.?
Could be battery, battery connections, starter, starter connections, neutral safety switch. I would check those in that order.
