The large red wire on the outside of the fuse box comes directly from the battery and directly to the starter.

I noticed that red cable you mentioned looked a little dirty .

There are 2 wires under the red plastic cover, one to the battery and the other goes down to the starter. There’s a wire that connects to the power steering, you can see it just to the left .

Loose nut or corrosion is what you are looking for.
Then you need to see if there is power at the other end on the starter. The skinny wire on the starter comes from the starter relay in the fuse box.

Looks are not to be relied upon. If there's any question the cable should be taken apart and cleaned and properly tightened.
