check all grounds in the engine bay. there should be 2 near the battery and 2 near the fuse box. make sure they are clean and tight.

check both battery terminals and make sure they are clean and tight, and the top and sides of the battery has no dirt/oil/acid/grease on it.

check all fuses inside and in the engine bay. replace any broken ones.

take the battery back to where you got it for a load test.
