07 500 EFI issue

Hey guys. So, I recently installed a new AGM battery, after i installed it ran fine for a day... I installed a new one thinking it was the old, stock battery. Now, I went to start it up, it cranked over, flashed check engine then died. I now get nothing, not even a click... what could it be now???

Did you charge the battery or just put it in out of the box? You should charge it if you didn't. Also check for tight connections.

Check the charge on the battery. If it's good, then it sounds like maybe you have solenoid issues. If you aren't getting a click, then try jiggling and/or cleaning the cable connections to your battery, the starter, and the solenoid on the battery and the starter side. Also check and clean the connections of the smaller wires on the solenoid. If still nothing, turn the key to the on position and try jumping the solenoid terminals with a screwdriver. If still nothing, then either the ignition switch is bad, a wire is bad from your ignition switch to the solenoid, the solenoid isn't grounded (the small brown wire. If it starts, you need to replace the solenoid. A multimeter or continuity tester will be your friend on this one.
