I would remove and clean all the heavy gauge wire cables in the battery, starter and ground and replace them if some shows sign of deterioration and if not just clean the contact ends and connect them back and tighten them good.

Make sure battery is fully charged. Failing battery would show 12 volts just like a new battery but it does not have the large AMPs required to turn over an engine.

Engine locked up? Good engine ground? There are two power wires to starter, both powered in crank position? Voltage drop? What is the voltage on both wires at crank?

Good, at least it's not an engine concern. Should be an easy fix.
