If the battery is new, what most likely happened was that you did not fully depress the clutch pedal ALL the way down to the bottom when you tried to start the car. There is a clutch switch that j.fro mentioned, which must be fully depressed, in order for you to start the car.

I have the same problem. I need to check those clutch switch and ignition switch. Thanks much, friends!!

I had a similar problem. Car didnt start and all electrical items working.
The dealer checked it and it was my key. The small chip inside your remote key sends a signal to the car to verify authentic key. Unfortunately I only have 1 key.

Once I got a new key and reprogrammed to the car, it works no problem.
Cost for one new key and reprogram to the car is $500.

Do you have an extra key to check if this is the problem?
