Have you tried using jumper leads to start the car? Did you install the battery the wrong way around when you replaced it?

That is what i would try, use jumper leads to see if you get dash lights and go from there. Quickest and cheapest way.

you haven't said if the security light is on or not? If you pull the starter relay out and bridge his contacts does it crank?

No i know people wouldn't know but really how dumb would someone have to be to put a battery in wrong? Also the battery has been fully charged and still no crank but like i said i get reds but nothing when i turn the key except an exclamation mark in a circle with brackets, i think the starter isn't getting power to it but i wouldn't know what to do except fiddle with the leads or bash the starter with a hammer. Yes i am new to mechanics. P.S i do appreciate everyones help

I read all your posts smart arse and you haven't told us you hit the starter motor. You have tried SFA according to what you have told us. Do you want help or not because if you hang **** on those trying to help everyone will leave leave you to work it out yourself.
