Replaced the starter it started right up, turned off and went to start it again no power like battery was dead. Check battery and it is fully charged. No lights inside or on dash when key is put into ignition no power at all. What could it be?

Hello,

Double check your connections to the battery terminals making sure they are tight and corrosion free. If they look good check fuse C(60A) in the under-hood fuse box. I have included diagrams of the location, fuses, and a callout for the under-hood fuse box in the diagrams below as well as a wiring diagram for the starting circuit for your vehicle. Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
