Won't start after replacing battery. Won't turn over. Headlights work. Door ajar chime works. Dome light doesn't work. Nothing on the dash lights up.

I assume it worked before the battery was changed. If so, it sounds like the battery cable has a bad connection. Here is a guide that can help you fix it:
