Are the cables tight on the post of the battery?

Why did you have to replace the battery? It won'teven turn overwith a jump? You have lights and all that jazz? Is it clicking?

If it's a new battery and your lights weren't on over night, it could likely be the alternator. Try hooking the battery up to a battery charger four a few hours.
