Did you check the other ends of the cables? Sounds like maybe you have a loose ground but not too sure. That is where I would start.
 
Could be a bad spot on the Starter. Trying taping on the starter with a hammer or something while someone has the key turned to start and see if it tries to crank then. If so, you've found your problem.
 
I tried that this morning still nothing just 1 click that's it

Even when I take off the negative terminal off the battery and put it back on I don't even get a spark ? Usually should get something , everything else works my hid's radio etc and battery still has 12.3-12.4v lots of juice
 
I have had this problem myself. I fixed it by cleaning all the grounds. I took the wires going to the battery, both negative and positive sides, and cut them back to new fresh wire. Then attached new connectors. Fired right up.
 


Did you check the voltage drop when you hear the click or try to start? 12.3 seems low for a new battery maybe got a bum battery.

12.3-12.4 is good actually, I even took battery back to get tested and passes with flying colours, and yes I cut the old terminal off and attached new terminal to clean wiring
