New batteries are not always sold fully charged. Some sit on the shelf for years before being sold, warranty starts at sale date. A trickle charger is the best way to charge a low battery, but it can be jumped. If not, take it back for another. Red to + black to -.
You might have a bad connection. Check your ignition fuse first. It may have blown. Make sure the battery terminals are on good. You should see a spark or hear the current when you take the terminal and hit the post. Listen and look to see if the battery is holding a charge. If so, you need to check the wires that go from the battery to your starter. Make sure they are getting current off the battery. You can test then with a voltage meter. Make sure the battery post and terminal ends are cleaned. Your battery, if new, should be given off over 12V or around it. Patricia, If it is not the fuse, check the wires. Make sure they are on the battery correct and the wires are tight. If you have a question, please let me know. I am here to help. Feel free to write back Patricia. Thanks for choosing FixYa.
