Nothing comes on when you open doors; no lights, turn key nothing, new battery. Checked and replaced blown fuses, but still nothing. Also, no power when testing the negative and positive wires. So upon doing that getting nothing on negative side positive test get something but nothing. I do not know why? Help!

"get something but nothing"?

Follow the smaller positive wire from the battery's positive post, to the under-hood fuse box. Clean and tighten that nut were that wire is attached. That is a very common place to find bad connections on any brand of car. You described the exact symptom it causes.

Also follow the smaller negative wire from the battery to where it bolts to the body. Be sure that is tight and not rusted.

Do you have a voltmeter or test light if we need to look further, and know how to use them? Did this problem just start with the new battery, or did you replace the battery to try to solve this problem?
