Assuming that the connections are correct, you could have dirty battery terminals, bad starter-motor, blown fuse, bad iginition-switch.
If aall the above are good, take out the starter-motor to a shop to test it.

Just put a new battery in my 1999 chrysler 300m and now when I try to start my car it just clicks,wut could b the possible issues,and also my brake lights will not shut off when the car is completly turned...

From your description of your problem it seems like your starter may be at fault. It may have a dead spot and the click you are hearing may be the starter solenoid engaging but not power is getting to the actual starter motor. As for the brake lights your brake light switch may have failed.

My uncle gave me his 1996 lincoln continental, it has been religiously maintained up til 3 years ago when he parked it. It had gotten my aunt stranded a couple of times so they just went and bought a new...

The security system has disabled the starter. I had this happen on an earlier model Honda Civic. As a solution, we bypassed the starter and added a push-button switch on the inside of the car. So you'd turn the key to start, hit the button, and it started. We took a bit and drilled a hole in the lower dash for the button to fit, some place easily reach by the driver. From the switch we ran 2 wires, one to the ignotion wire, that we pulled off the starter, and the other to the + side of the battery.

This was the cheapest route. I had attempted to remove the security system, but to no avail.

If you're looking for a professional fix...I'm sorry I don't really have one.

Hope this helps.

1999 bug it only starts when it want to after its runing its good you shut it down you dont know if its going to start again did this happen to any one eles

Check first your battery! The battery terminal might be LOOSE and needs tightening! Put some grease after u cleaned the TERMINAL POLE, corrosion and oxidation occurs when it wasn't maintained! Try to check that first and let us know wut happened after that Taaah!!
