When you say, hard start, are you saying it cranks good but won't start? If so, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the plugs, if spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Also, check fuel injector pulse. Crank the starter intermittently, so it doesn't overheat.
Any applicable trouble codes?
As far as you dash lites, you may have to check ignition switch.

When you turn the key, you should hear the fuel pump make a whiring noise as it dispenses the fuel. If there is no noise. the fuel pump is not working.
Have you checked the fuel shutoff inertia switch.?
Check your owners manual for location.

it sounds to me like it could be the alternator im afraid but the only real cheap way to tell is time. if you continue to drive this and keep a check on wether it still starts or lights dim, with it being a new battery it is going to take a while fot it to go flat. if it does then try not to drive it too much as this will break it and cost you even more.

check the wire from the battery to the starter to see if it has good connection. otherwise check your ground to block.
