1997 4runner wont start

Not sure how this works but here goes.
I drove my car to the gas station, filled up and went to start my car and nothing. It made a slight clicking noise. The car jumped fine. I got it started and it ran fine until i turned on the ac, or even the fan. it started whining and the rpm gauge started spiking. i put in a new battery in it. as soon as i put in the battery the interior lights and warning lights came on. I turned the key. I heard a small click and all the lights went dim again. Any ideas as to what the hell happened.

Check the battery terminals...are they corroded? Loose wires?
