Put in a new Battery, got nothin' - I am not dumb, but maybe I'm not bright?

So you live in Buffalo New York and the nearest LS dealer is 200 miles ?

No, but without a trailer to get it to a store, might as well be. Its roughly about 20-30 miles away from where I am

I’d check the fuses, a chance you blew one changing the batter. I’d also check you negative batter cable where it’s grounded.

Thank you, I am about to head back out there to check the fuses. The ground is where LS put it and it makes sense, bottom plate.

A torque wrench to put a battery in?

Meaning I did not over or under tighten, snugged up.

Wish I was that funny!

Dad jokes come with the title

I try to check a new battery with a meter before I even leave the store because I’ve had new bad ones before. Even a test light could be useful here. A meter is better but a test light could let you know if it’s totally dead or not.

Sent the wife to auto zone to pick up one.

How about a pic with those caps pulled back??

Your problem must be something real simple right there at the battery. Hard to believe you have a new battery that's so dead it won't even light up a dash light or make something click -- but it's possible.

Someone asked if you put the battery cable ends OVER the plastic caps that come on a new battery post. Did you check for that? Is the red or black cap still on one or both of the posts?

A cable thats "ready" can go bad from a mere wiggle. Then you have to find that spot thats responsible. You might be there with this.

The Bills are making me so mad I went back out there and wiggled everything - no sign of life yet. Wife still hasnt made it home so I cannot test the battery yet, but I did dig into the fuse box and what I saw versus what the manual says seems to be incongruent unless fuel shut off means engine stop in the translation

Well that looks ok. Need to check to see if it’s a dead battery.

Try to jump it.
