Question Bessie is Sick HELP

First time logger but returning viewer - this beats all - changed the battery after having to jump her and now nothing. No dash lights (had them prior to switching out battery) acts like she wants to start but doesn't turn over. I pull the Alarm Relay - did the key in the door thing - pushed gas all the way down thing....nothing. I say system has locked her up - any other suggestions. All fuses are fine too

Does the starter turn good? What voltage does the new battery read? I'd like to know the brand name of the battery.

Just pulling the alarm relay will kill it dead. Put the relay back in, lock and unlock the doors and you should be good to go if everything else is OK. I'm not sure how to read
acts like she wants to start but doesn't turn over.
Without the alarm relay in place it will not crank at all.

I pulled the alarm relay & put it back in to try to "reset" it so it's in - I don't know what voltage - nor the brand husband bought it. She's acting like she wants to turn but no fuel - no hesitation - no funny sounds - no clicking (Starter) - just no kick over?
