If electrical (you turn the key and there's no response at all) -
I would check the connection. Make sure it's hooked up right. If so, use a test light to check the circuit while someone else turns the key (Park or neutral for 5speed with ebrake on [safety] or on truck jackstands on level ground [more stable]) - maybe a short or bad relay or fuse. Use test light along circuit until the light goes on, then look at what was before that spot. There it is.
If mechanical-
If you hear the starter motor trying to work- either battery is bad, or there's something causing mechanical resistance inside the motor (see if a 1/2" ratchet will turn the motor- if you can turn it by hand, then it's the battery)
