I would start by cleaning the battery cable ends, both ends on both of
them.

Well, what does it do when you try to start? Does it click? Does it
turn over? Does it spin? Do the interior lights dim?

Put some gas in the tank. It's empty.
Put the shifter in park, not reverse.
Plug in the solenoid. The little wire fell off.
Turn off the alarm. It's disabling the starter.
