Turn on headlights. If your headlights don't dim when you try to start, then electrical wiring from the headlight switch or the electrical part of the ignition switch.

If the stereo doesn't work bu lights work, doubt that it's just a battery issue.

Probably wiring issue; check the wire from the light switch to the fusebox and/or ignition switch. Start there and use a test light or VOM to check.
