I just bought a brand new battery for my car and now it won't start. I have checked all fuses, I have messed with the battery cables I have done all kinds of things and it won't do anything. It makes no noise, nothing. I was rewiring my amp for my stereo system. I even unhooked it all and it still does nothing I'm at a loss as to what's wrong with it.

Does the alarm fuction correctly... arm and disarm?

The alarm cuts starter operation.

You can bypass the red/blk starter wire at the alarm module to get it cranking again... to diagnose at a later time.
