Need electrical HELP!

So after driving my car couple times in the day, my last trip i made a 15min stop, turned car off, left my blinkers on. When i went to start it up it was dead. Just click! Guages are dim and only reading 9volts and acting like its dead. So i try quick jump, does nothing, guages still dim, acts like out of power, but windows work ok and lights seem to be bright. So checked battery with voltmeter while car in "on" position, 12.1volts while guage is still only reading around 9volts. I cant figure this thing out hopefully someone can point me in the right direction? (no corrosion on or around battery)

Check your starter relay and your ignition relay for proper voltage.

Did you unhook the battery cables from the battery and check for corrosion there?

There are other types of corrosion that can cause loss of voltage.
You didn't answer my question.
