Default Yet another problem

Ok so I haven't been home for three months and I haven't had a chance to check out my car til today. Back in July I was driving down a three lane interstate highway and my car just died in the center lane. I got help pushing it off to the side from some people.

Anyway, I come home and the car's power locks don't work so I put a new battery in and it just clicks and doesn't even try to turn over. I know the starter didn't have anything to do with it dieing while I was driving. I don't think its the clutch.

if its just clicking it doesnt sound like its getting enough juice from the battery. Make sure its getting electric. Check the battery, the wires and the starting solenoid.

I would check the alternator too. I had a similar problem in my s-10 when the alt went bad, except I had surging, and then it would die.

Yeah I was thinking it was the alternator because I have underdrive pulleys and I still have the stock pully on the alternator. I just tried pop starting it. It didn't start, didn't even atempt to start or make a noise. Does anyone know how to reset the fuel cut off switch. I don't have an owners guide.
