Test all your grounds with a voltmeter. Positive side and negative side. Many YouTube videos how to do this.

I agree this sounds like it might be an electrical problem. Did the problem start when you put the new battery in or was that the reason for the new battery? Check that all grounds are good as well as all live connections, particularly any that you worked on while installing the battery. A scan for trouble codes might give you some direction if you haven't already done that.

The last time I drove it I hit the brakes and all the lights started flashing the car would either die or almost die but would start right back up so I parked it and I opened the passenger door there was a clicking coming from behind the radio area

I had two different people try to get codes on it it won't throw any codes at all there was nothing wrong with the car before all this other than the flex pipe has blew apart
