Please help
I took the liberty of editing a bit
It may make it easier for others to read/understand /help

I really have no help, just the obvious
if the old one worked when before you took it out, and doesn't after putting it back in..
I'd check pins on connectors to confirm none are bent or wires loose
and confirm I re-installed correctly

Brand new battery means nothing. What voltage are you reading on the battery?

Attach a picture of the new key you purchased and the old key.
