2019 1500 bighorn. Purchased a new battery, installed it, and drove it home, the truck sat for two days without moving and now it won't start, not a light, not a click. Brought the battery into the house, put it on the tester that I have and it is fully charged. Took it back out to the truck, installed it and still nothing. the truck is completely dead. Is there a main power fuse that I can check?
 
I think all the main power fuses are on the big terminals next to the fuse box. Could be a bad ground too.

Do any electronics work? Dash, lights, etc?

That sucks. What if you try and jump it
 
This has been reported and the solution more than a few times here. It may be a good idea to proactively check these nuts on the fuse box

It's going to be part of my routine maintenance from now on
 
So I opened up the fuse box, and one of the terminals had a loose nut. For sh!ts and giggles, I tightened it and everything now works. It was the second nut from the right.
