I replaed the battery, and still have no power. Nothing what so ever. Where can I access a manual to verify it is installed correctly? I never had an unser manual. I don't believe I have a dirty connection since I cleaned all connections. Any other suggestions on what the problem might be? I can't see paying 100s of dollars to hear that I had the washer/cables connected in the wrong order on the battery. Poasts are on the top of the battery.

Red cable to positive terminal and black cable to negative terminal, right?

Open the fuse/relay box under the hood. Make sure all fusible link are still good. Usually the main link (80A sometimes 100A) is broken.
