97 f150 4.6l electrical problems

Hi all
having problems with my 97 f150. Yesterday it started right up no problems and had it running for about 15 minutes to pump all tires. Tried starting it today and there's no electrics going anywhere. I should mention this truck has a kill switch to the battery that is shut off everytime it is done being used but it wasn't shut off from yesterday. Got in to start it and the dome lights came on and dash lights lit but when I cranked it I got no power to anything. After all dash lights went away and all interior lights out. I turned the killswitch off and back on and normally you'll hear the CD changer in the back seat moving when you turn on the kilswitch but this time there was nothing, just a few clicks from under the hood. Tried it again but no dome lights and no dash lights either. No crank and no click. Tried random things like the hazards and radio. I'm currently sitting here with the door open and the kills witch switched to on and as I'm sitting here, the dome light and door chime will randomly sound with key on off but when i click the key to run, all dash lights came on and on my most recent attempt, I tried starting it and there was a click as if the solenoid clicked. The battery has 12.6 dvc and all fuses seem to be good. What's the issue??

Update it turned over albeit very slowly after I was sitting there with the door open and the electrics all decided to come on out of no where, drove it around and let it sit for 30 minutes. Shut it off and immediately tried starting it again and it didn't start
