The poster should first make sure new battery is fully charged.Be sure battery cables are very clean and tight,same with connectors on solenoid. Have an assistant turn on headlamps(high beam) and attempt to start vehicle.Do lights remain the same or do they dim excessively? If lights dim noticeably check for shorted starter cable or defective starter.also check engine for excessive turning effort using turning tool on engine crank bolt or screwdriver in flywheel with starter removed.If lights do not dim check for open circuit in starter or cable.Sometimes a few sharp raps on the starter body will get it to work temporarily.Defective starters will often have a burnt smell. IF engine is excessively hard to turn,mechanical problem,such as leaking coolant into cylinders or defective injector may exist.Always use extreme caution when working under vehicle or near electrical components,batteries can explode or burn you badly and starter can engage causing serious bodily harm.Most auto parts stores can test starter with component removed.Also be sure correct replacement part is installed.This vehicle has several solenoids that will fit,but will not necessarily work.
