Check to make sure it don't have a wire still disconnected and I would also check around the battery looking at your wires and connection plugs make sure each one is plugged in all the way and wasn't accidentally damaged or unplugged

There are ground and power wires that go to the battery cables that need to be connected. I would look around the cables to see if you can tell if wires are loose, if you upload an image or short video I can help fix it with you. Please over this video
