4.0L 2000 cherokee wont start, no power with new battery.
I have a 2000 cherokee sport 4.0L auto trans. I came outside today to start it and it did nothing. i noticed the interior lights were not on and the radio did not come on with the key forward. i checked the battery (which is 1 year old) and it is at full charge. I stuck it on a charger just incase. no luck. there is absolutely no power to the jeep. what things should I start checking?

I took the cables off and sanded the terminal posts and set the cables back down over the post and it started and worked fine. once i tightened them down and tried it wont start or have power. kinda strange. so i ended up sanding the inside of the cable ends and the top and bottom of them plus the terminals again. tightened it up. seems ok for now anyway.
