Q: Car won't start with new battery after sitting a year

My car has trouble starting. For nearly a year, it sat without being driven. There was no battery in it during that year of inactivity and there was no anti-theft system. There is now a new battery installed in the car. It just won’t start via the turn-key method; the car won’t crank at all when turning the key. Both the battery and the starter are good. I can start my car with a remote starter tool which has a switch and positive/negative clamps. When using the remote starter, the clutch pedal has to be pressed, of course. Once it turns, there is a click inside the cabin. I can tell that the click is not coming from the starter. I have used multiple new batteries and no matter what battery is used, when I jump-start the car, it will not crank at all when turning the key. Can you help me identify what the problem is and how to fix it?
