Default replaced weak battery, now won't start - no click, nothing

hi!

so, my '04 xb manual , w/~212k on it shares use w/another xb and a fiat 500, as well as a few motorcycles. which means it sits a lot. plus i broke my foot, and nothing was getting any use for over a month. when i went to start the '04 a while back, it was dead. it took a charge, and started right up. but it went dead a week later, and i knew the battery was long overdue for a replacement. which i installed today. except now, i get nothing. new battery is good, all electronics, accessories, etc are working, and fuses are fine. when i turn the key, there isn't even a click. you can hear the injector pump, but that's it. wtf? what did i do? i simply pulled out the old battery and installed the new one.

any help, experience w/something like this, etc, would be greatly appreciated

thanks,

doug s.

Did you check the fuses? Clutch sensor? Lastly I'd see if the starter was good. Hope this helps.

Check your main ground wire too!

A phone pic of the installation might shed some light.
Do you have a battery tester? Harbor freight sells one for about $40. Easy to use. May have got a bad battery
