Sooooo, checked the battery cables and they "looked" fine but still no start after new battery install. While in a nice quiet garage I leaned into to turn the ignition on and could hear some tel-tale crackling coming from the battery area. Grabbed the battery cable and gave it a little wiggle, lights come on and fuel pumps starts buzzing.

Removed and replace the -battery cable, new battery and all is well, except for the fact that now the alternator was not charging. The mega fuse on the front of the fuse compartment in the engine bay was bad. Replaced it and all is back to normal..
