2013 Dodge Grand Caravan/Won’t Crank

Hello, will try and make this short and sweet but also understandable at the same time. I have a 2013 dodge grand caravan, recently it’s not wanted to start , but would after a few attempts. Came out one morning no crank at all, only clicking. Cool , replaced the starter last night with a new one from O’reillys (took me about 4 hours sadly due to having to remove engine mount, cradle bar) Put everything back together, hopped in to start and nope… just a click. I have tested fuel pump fuses, previous starter also passed the test at AutoZone (my mistake for not testing before buying a new one). Battery passed with 97% charge and is relatively new. I’m ruling out a fuel issue, because it’s not even cranking. At least with a completely dead fuel pump any car would still crank, but not actually catch. Ideas on what to check? I’m exhausted with this van. 132k on the ODO. Notorious 3.6 pentastar dodge. Automatic.

Motor turns by hand both ways and is free/not seized. Fuses checked with multimeter.

Are battery terminals corroded?
