I can drive it for awhile and then it will not start. I mean it want do anything. Sometimes after I drive it I will turn off the car and try it and it will start and I wait 15 minutes and go out there and nothing. All the lights come on brand new battery but it want do anything.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Since it is sporadic, it sounds like a weak connection. I realize the battery is new, but are you sure the terminals are clean and tight? When you say it won't do anything, you mentioned the light work. Do you mean the starter will not engage to start the engine? Does it even click or anything at all? It sounds like the battery is weak or the starter has gone out but to be sure lets check out these guides, they can help us fix it
