start with the starter terminal as JimV said then look again at the battery.
How old is the battery. A battery may have enough volts to run lights but
not enough umph to turn a starter. My experience being, my battery, 1 year
old, went TU in my Suzuki and the dealer said it spark tested out fine. Yes
it did run the lights but when I tested the cells with a hygrometer two were
US. Dealer had to eat humble pie and fit new one.

Borrow a good battery from another car, and try it. If it starts, then it
was your battery after all. If it doesn't then it is likely a starter
relay in my limited experience

Re: Can't start Audi A6
 

The battery is over 4 years old (sept 2000). Where is the starter terminal?
Should I try to jump start it? Will did help me narrow down the
possiblilities if it works or not.
Although, the battery indicator is now dead on 12 volts (halfway up the
meter), it can swear it used to be 3/4 up before.

Thank you a lot for your help.
