A/C does not start, and radio hub has no power to it. Also, the dash lights will not turn on. Any help would be greatly appreciated! We just recently replaced the battery due to the car not starting up.

Start with checking the fuses. One or more could have blown.

At the battery, ensure all wires were reattached. Check for loose connections and at under hood fuse box. Have you checked all the fuses and under dash fuse box?

You would need to check why power supply is missing.

There are more fuses to check and you will need to see what is loosing power or if it is the ac compressor itself. Here is a wiring diagram and a guide to help you do some simple testing.
