Default 2001 Mazda Tribute No Power on ignition

I replaced the battery as Auto Zone said it was bad after three years - not the problem, bad alternator - replaced it. Drove it for two days. Went out to start it up. Everything is dead (meaning no display lights, no locks, no lights and no radio - nothing electrical). Battery is good - had it checked. I looked through the fuses and they look good. Put the car in a neutral and still nothing, so not any of those issues. I keep reading its a ground problem most likely but man having a hell of time finding it. going to pull the wheel off and double check that connection to the alternator are tight (The battery and alternator only two items I messed with).
