Quote: "I turned the ignition switch on and the ammeter drops slightly, just under "0". When I press on the starter button the engine does not turnover. It doesn't click or anything. Looking at the ammeter when I press on the starter button it goes back to "0"."


That returning of the gauge to 0 when you press the starter button sounds like a battery connection OR a battery that goes open circuit when load is applied. To test, press the starter button while your volt meter is on the battery. If it drops to near 0 the battery is done. If it stays at a good voltage level, it's probably a connection.
