The battery had two dead cells. I replaced the battery and the car will not start and the lights will not come on. The chime does sound when the key is inserted. Ho do I get the car started?

Is the battery polarity correct if so-check the fusible links could be blown if not -could be the theft deterrent device that's preventing it from starting
