    Check the connections at the battery. You can check the battery's charge with a voltmeter. If fully charged it will read 12.7v.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

                Check voltage at the positive terminal under the hood to see if it has power. Also there is a fuseable link in the trunk if you follow the smaller wire next to the large positive one.

                    yes, there is no fuseable link in a vert.
                    you either missed attaching a wire or incorrectly attached something.

                        the only thing i took out and replaced was the battery, pretty sure i connected that correctly.

                              on that red wire, that should be for an alarm. does that have an immobilizer? is the fuse in that black thing good? and are all the wires attached to the top of the positive side tight? if those dont have good connection then the car wont start.
