Sounds like a bad starter if the connections are good, and the battery is good.

you turn the key and it does nothing? Not even click? If so, you have a bad starter or a starter connection.

But basically I just restated what was already said...

because that's all it really reasonably could be

since you replaced it recently, go swap it out for free (i assume there's a warranty) and see what happens.

completely different vehicle, but the exact same thing happened to a 94 gmc jimmy i had. spent 6 hrs replacing the starter, and checking everything, and it still didnt start. never could figure out the problem. the truck would start with the remote start in it tho. good luck.

Did the security light come on?

The starter is PCM controlled on a '04 3400, so there's a relay in the mix too.
