Can't start Audi A6
 
I have a 1995 audi A6, never had a problem starting it. Yesterday, it was
hard starting it, as if the battery was almost dead. I thought I had left
the light on and drove it to recharge the battery, when I tried to restart
it, it did it again, a very very weak starting as if the battery was almost
dead.
This morning, nothing, it's not even trying. Brought the battery to be
tested at Auto-Zone at it has a full charge.
Anybody can help me figure out what the problem is please?

Thank You

Do the lights work? Do they dim when you try to start it? Could be the
starter, bad connection, or Autozone might be wrong about your battery.

Yes, the lights, evertying electric in the car, even the high beams, work
fine, just it doesn't seem anything is trying to make the engine turn (I
know nothing about mechanics). The car even says "OK" as if everything is
fine. Yesterday, it was at least struggling to start, but today nothing.

I'd guess it's either a bad starter or a bad start relay.
