Ther are several possible issues.. When the chassis battery on my workhorse died at 9 years of age the boot system was not enough. I ran a 2nd jumper cable from house to engine and VAROOM. replaced the engine battery and all was good.
I've also had issues because Damon used the WRONG terminals on the positive lead on the chassis battery. Common crimp on RIng terminals instead of a proper Battery terminal. different metals. the resulting corrosion required frequent cleaning. but under THOSE conditions boost worked.
The other suggestions above are good as well but get the battery tested. (Chassis) cause if it is bad enough. nothing works.
