It will only start with a jump. If I just use battery the fuse box will buzz. That's normal right? Just a dead battery?
Is there a possibility of electrical issues?

A known-good battery is where you should start this trouble shooting from. A dying battery can make the bike's electrical system act weird, it can make it very hard to diagnose anything else when this is the situation.
Any idea how old the battery is? There's probably a date code printed somewhere on the batter, sometimes it's impressed into the plastic of the battery otherwise it should be printed onto the battery. Then you search the battery type to find out how to read the manufacturer's date code.
You could take it to an auto parts place or a Batteries+Bulbs and have the battery tested. People are very reluctant to replace batteries, wishing they would last forever, but they don't.
