Exclamation Jeepy won't start/turn over ???

Recently I changed the battery in my '96 Jeep 4x4 Cherokee 5 speed manual trans.
After installing new battery...no dice. Car will not turn over at all. Won't even try to start.

Am completely stumped....I am reading something here on sensors etc.. that could be the issue....

Anyone with any input please help!!!
