So you changed your battery and it still wont start.
Few things to look at here... lets get started.
Side post battery, ensure the batterys ends are clean and tight. Peel back the first 1/2 inch of plastic on the cable and look for corosion. If its present....either cut 1/2 an inch off it and put on new terminal connectors, its a 3 dollar fix.
Corrosion will prevent the proper ammount of amperage draw to leave the battery and reach the starter. usually indicated by a single click, or clicking when the key is turned.
No clicking at all.. lets take a look at the ignition switch. remove it and take it to your local auto zone for testing. Its free, and takes about 10 minutes to remove and replace. The part is bad this is a 30 dollar fix. This is very common for this year model of car. This is my guess of your problem from past experience.
Last lets take your starter off. It also can be bench tested at Auto Zone for free. It will take you about 20 minutes to remove and 20 minutes to put back on.
Sorry but all of your diag tips require time to remove parts and replace, but your own labor is free vs. A shops labor rate.
I hope this helps you , good luck.

Your battery is not charging. It is either due to a faulty battery or a faulty alternator. Get it changed.
Camry99 I changed the battery 4 months ago but I could not regularly use it.I've to jump start the car every time I try to start. jump started in morning but couldn't start in evening. what's the prob?
Check the alternator. If the alternator is not generating enough electrical energy to run the car AND recharge the battery you'll always have a low battery. If that's not it try to find something that is being left on that's draining the battery.
Truck not starting just making clicking sounds. the starter has been changed but it still wont start what could the problem be?
A low or dead battery will have this effect. There is enough juice in the battery to activate the solenoid in the starter (causing the clicking sound), but not enough to turn over the engine. A jump start or a replacement battery may be needed if the battery is no longer capable of holding enough of a charge even when being jumped.

My guess would be a weak ignition coil. Same thing happened to my delta. Wouldn't start in cold weather. Changed the ignition coil (60bucks) and it's been starting good ever since.
