Simple trick that might work- stick the tip of a pocket knife or small
plain screwdriver between the battery posts and their clamps and pry
and twist a little. Or if you have wrenches handy, slacken the clamps
and rotate them a bit on the posts and try again.

Before deciding it's the ignition switch or main relay, check all
battery cable connections at battery, starter and neg cable grounding
point. Check under the battery cable connections at the clamps for
corroded copper, sometimes there's only a few strands left among and a
lot of green crud. See also:
