You need to find out what kind of voltage your battery actually has. Having a battery that can power lights and buzzers is a world away from one that can begin to crank a starter motor.

You need to remove, inspect, clean, and tightly reinstall your connections at the battery & probably at the starter as well.

If its an automatic transmission try to start it after putting it in neutral. If its a manual, check out the switch that is somewhere down at the clutch pedal.

_“the volts are between 12-14”_

There’s nothing that makes that a valid range. 12V is too low no matter what. At 12V a car battery is discharged. I know they’re called 12V batteries, but it has to be up to about a minimum of 12.4V Fully charged it will be about 12.8V. The difference between 12V and 12.8V is a lot. If its voltage while the car is running 12V is also too low as alternator output. It should remain in a range somewhere between 13-15V with car running. You should be able to measure at the alternator and battery and get about the same reading. So maybe you’ll want to specify what 12-14 means.

_“the switch at the pedal seems fine”_

I’m not sure what that means. You looked at it and it looked ok? If the switch is functioning mechanically it would be a good idea to use a multimeter to find out if it is working electrically. The switch will probably either complete a connection & send a 12V power supply out when the clutch if depressed - or it will have a constant 12V that is broken by the switch when the clutch pedal is depressed.

There is a bundle of fusible links attached to the battery (+) post. Check them.
