if you radio turns on, headlights normal output. its your starter. take a metal stick about 14 in or so and hit the start a couple of times. go back and try to start the car. 99% its that... i'm on my second starter... remote start FWL...

Too many details. I'm overwhelmed by them.

Do the lights work? If so, do they dim when you try to start the car? Would the car start with the old battery at all? Crank slow or just clicks or nothing at all?

I'm having the slow crank and then nothing hapens issue with my 2000 SE. It started to do it for about a week and then finally yesterday it did it and did not start. Took the Battery to AutoZone, battery is good + charged it, still nothing. I'm going to get the starter checked. I'll post back with info.
