Basically, I hooked up the battery I just bought (yes I've made sure it's hooked up properly) and it won't even turn the lights on, like the battery isn't even hooked up. I'm not familiar with cars etc... but I don't want to take it into a shop. I want to see if perhaps I can figure it out, if it's a fuse or something. I'm just not sure how to go about doing that, or at least would like some pointers. I've done a bit of research but I'm wondering what someone familiar with the truck would have to say.
Hello, open the fuse box and look for a large 80A fuse, replace it if necessary, if it doesn't have the fuse some early versions used fusible link wire from the positive battery terminal instead, this is a fuse and will burn out inside the insulation if there is a short, check it using a 12 volt test light, you can get fusible wire from the auto parts store.

Sounds like you need the memory wire hooked up.
If the memory wire is Not used, you will get 1 of 3 things,
1 no Sound.
2 no Info, Like the Clock or Station
and 3 "IF the amp is wired Right" you would send the power Backwards to the radio.
Not to mention the voltage for the Amp Trigger is 12+ volts Just low Amps,
So you could wire Just the Radio With 1 ground, 2 hots And Ground the Radio Case, INcase the Radio is using the Ant as a Ground.
Hope this Helps.

sounds to me that you have an igniton problem not a starter problem and or if you have or had an alarm system could be cause if u do give me feedback and i will explain but seems that your starter is fine from what u say but if you think in terms of the elemts to start a vehicle batery gives pwoer to ignition which sends to starter which gives spark etc i would check you ignition system something is causeing a short and not alowing starter to function

yes, you must remove the top panel on the fuse block the 80 amp fuse is bolted to the the fuse panel, hope this helps if not get back to me as i strive to be the best please rate my fix Thanks Ray
SOURCE: Not working = power rear window, power antenna, starter
it looks like the starter is bad, install a new one. the antenna gear is broken, needs to be replaced and you need to check the rear hatch for any obstructions

I've had similar problems with my cars, and everytime it was a bad ground or power wire, or corrosion on the terminals. Get a wire brush and clean both battery connecters..even a little corrosion can cause a no power situation. If you have a test light, connect the ground of the test light to the negative cable of the battery and touch light to the positive cable...if the test light doesn't light up, then you have a break or lose connection in your ground wire. Trace the battery ground to the engine block and clean that also...the smallest thing can interupt power...hope this helps..
