Did you check both the positive and negative battery cables? The two fuses on the right are voltage for ignition switch. Use a test light, see if the fuse circuits are hot? Should be hot all the time. There are fusible links involved, also. The battery junction box is under the hood.
check battery voatage with a volt meter. After verifying 12v or better at starter, check power at starter cable terminal and verify ground at block is good. Then put volt meter across both battery terminals and try to start car. If battery voltage shows 9.5 or less while attempting to crank, change starter. (make sure that there is 12v at the starter trigger wire with key in "start" before replacng) (By battery "hot" you mean it's charged, not getting hot, correct?)
Well #1 with the gauge going to hot and no heat,10 to 1 it's a bad thermostat, stuck in the closed position.If you drove it like that for any length of time, with it hot, other things can get damaged.Change the thermostat, then have the alternator checked to see if it's charging.The meter should read 13 to 14 volts or more.
One of the red wires on your battery works the power to the ignition. If a wire has melted it`s insulation, the wire could be burnt out. Also, repeated starting attempts will cause the wires to get very hot. Why did you change the battery ? Was it just flat or didi you have this problem before you changed it.?
