How did you determine your battery is fine?

I bet it's your battery cables.
I just had the exact same issue in my car. Replaced the cables today and it's working just fine. Was there any corrosion on your terminals or posts? And are your cables melted or frayed at all? Also, are you sure you have a good ground going to the block or transmission bell housing? |

Easy way to check this.
Check the voltage at the battery posts, then check the voltage at the battery cable terminals If you've got lower voltages on the cables/terminals, then it's most likely your cables gone bad. |

It's a no crank no start
First thing I would do is smack the starter with a hammer. Second thing I would do is check the battery, just because the lights are on doesn't necessarily mean the battery has enough power to start the car.
