FD wont start

I had to keep jumping the battery so I took it to autozone and got a new one put in, after it got put in none of the electronics would come on when you put the key in.

If you try to start it it just sounds like a huge vacume in the engine bay, maybe the starter trying to work.

Maybe the ECU got fried when they hooked the new battery up?

Anyone know a fix for this? Any help would be awesome and much appreciated to a new FD owner. I Live at Fort Stewart and there are no rotary shops in my immediate area. Thanks.

TL;DR : car wont start, none of the electronics come on and it makes a vacume sound when I try to start it.

Im a soldier, I work on a tight scheduale, its easy to have somone else do stuff because I have to be at alot of diff formations during the day and I just got it titled and registered and bought a new battery and ran into formation time so I had the guy there put it in. Now I know better

Im going to check the fuses tommororw, you cant tow a broke vehicle into my post, so if its not the fuses im going to be **** out of luck or have it stored on a friends lawn until I deploy again and have enough money to fix it haha.
