Ok lets make it short, but detailed. I do all the work myself and really confused. Here we go. I was driving to my girls house when I was going up hill and hit a pot-hole. I looked @ the dash and seen that more lights had come on. I pulled into my spot and turned my car off. I try to restart it but no luck.
Car won't start (no noise)
No dash lights
Head lights go on
Bran new battery
O ring on dis is leaky on alt and power streerin
But just put new battery. Car should have started.
Computer?
Alternator?
New car?lol

I also check all connecting wires to and from starter, alternate, and battery

does the engine crank at all? Im assuming not with no noise. Cant check the alternator since it wont start. Try jumping it. You may have knocked an alternator wire loose or blown it completely and then as you continued driving it could have drained the battery. Even if it is new.

Check your fuses. Doubtful that this is it but check it anyway.

This is where I would start. Im sure someone else has an opinion.

All fuses r good. Gonna take battery back today (still have warranty on it.) Just to see if it starts. I tried to boost it. No luck.going to swap battery on lunch break. Ahhh.
Hellllllp lol be4 snow falls lol

Have you checked the signal wire? It's a small connector on the starter? That used to get knocked loose on my car all the time.

There was one problem that I had with the car before all of this.
When I signal or put the hazard lights on. It freezes up in like a minute.
If I saw a cop I would have to manually move the stick up and down so that I wouldn't get a ticket. I never fixed or found that problem.

i had a similar problem when i replaced my alternator and battery. turned out i was rushing to put everything back on and i didnt completly secure down the battery. i took a sharp turn, drifted it and the car shut off on me. turns out the battery hold down post shorted itself to the positive battery terminal. check all fuses and wireing

Things I checked :-(
-Battery(one day old)
-Alternator (checked and ok)
-Wire harness under wheel well (good and not touched)
-Checked all fuses
-starter wires good
This is how I'm spending my thanksgiving :-(

Ooook. I'm full of turkey and mash potatos, I decided to unbolt to power wire from the battery to the starter and saw that there was *no spark* the starter wire is in secure. I came to a conclusion. I think the stock emobliliezer is on.I don't have a remote on my key or the viper alarm system on my car. So I think the car is in safe mode. There is a little screen right near the key hole IGN, I'm going to disconnect that and the battery to bypass it. Or go out tomorrow and get a remote. Whooooo lalala. What a day. I seen things in that car that look like alien wiring. And I think I'm close to finding out the problem.

good luck hope you get it running

I done it all
One think I came across is that I have a stock alarm and viper alarm. Both with no remote. I'm thinkin one is interacting with another.
Tried key in door trick and ign.
????
Unpluged brain from viper.
????
I heard there is something in the trunk for the stock alarm. (Is this true) please. Have work monday and its getting colder as we speak.

I have the same alarm setup as you, but my dash lights would come on (just wouldn't crank) when I was having alarm trouble and the key in the door seemed to fix the problem every time. I have experienced a similar problem but I had all my lights and the car would crank just not start it was my timing belt skipping, oh just remembered a couple of weeks ago my battery crapped and after trouble shooting it was my terminal (-) not completely tightening down and a little dirty so there was a bad connection issue. if all your fuses are good and your wires I dont see why the dash is off, I say go over the wires again.
