Starting after dead battery

[ESCHOLES]

My 2002 battery finally died but after putting a new one in, I have not been able to start car. What am I doing wrong here--what is secret to restarting?? I could not even jump start? Ed

Try locking the doors and setting the allarm with you key FOB then unlocking the doors and then try and start it. The anti theft system may be doing it? Leroy

Leroy: I believe you are correct on the security device but even with the new battery, I am not getting power. I can hok up to the jump start power supply and get power but still can not start even doing what you said?? It has me beating my head against the steering wheel! Thanks. Ed

Try the basics. Are all your connections clean and tight? Is your polarity correct? Does anything else electrical work? Good luck and welcome to TBN.

First is the engine turning over and not starting??? If it is turning over check the fuel shut off pg.127 also look at pg.134 fuses.
One time a friend couldn't start his car no cranking.We tried to jump it still no crank.I looked inside at the shift lever it was in reverse not Park .He left the keys in the ignition when he backed into the garage and shut down in reverse.Put it in Park and started it .Of course I remind him of it.

Have you checked the NEW Battery with a volt meter to see if it is charged or dead?
