I thought a few more details might help. The gauges have juice, the lights come on, the fans can be turned on as well. I definetly hear a click when I turn the key in the ignition and when I start it, it sounds like a battery thats starting to die. After i stop trying to start it i can hear the spinning from what i believe would be the starter. I know it can't be a bad battery, because #1 its brand new, and #2 I tried to jump it with a charger (little portable jumper pack) just in case. I just got the car and it came with a dead battery. I jumped it and it would start right up. I obviously needed to replace it, so thats how this all got started. I don't think its relevant, but I'll throw it out there just in case. The car cables have small loops that went on a 5/16th screw-in top post battery. I couldn't find a replacement battery with a threaded post, so i got a standard top post battery and bought connectors (the typical ends to a battery cable) that would slide on the post and in turn i could thread the looped cables onto one of the screws on the connector. I doubt this helps much, but I thought I'd try. Thanks for all the help
