Didn´t finish my original post:

Each time I tried to start it for the first couple days I tested it, the clicking sound would gradually become more faint and eventually the starter wouldnt turn over at all, clicking would discontinue and gauges and lights would switch off all together. If I left it alone and tried another day, things would switch on and again gradually lose power each time I tried to fire it up. Tested the battery yesterday and it held so doesn´t seem to be a problem with that. We also tried bombing it and it fired a few times and sounded like it was gonna start up but never did. Any ideas? Since it isn´t the battery, am I looking at a potential electrical issue? I can´t even start it up to take it in to a shop right now and I really want to get back on the road. Any troubleshooting help would be greatly appreciated.
