Re: STUPID ME...

I would guess that cutting those wires had nothing to do with it.

Is there gas in the car?
Clutch all the way down?
Using the right key?

I would also suggest getting a license and insurance before you do try to start it again...

Re: STUPID ME...

im not gonna bother starting it again...the key turns but it sounds like its struggling to start the car. then when i take out the key, theres some buzzing sound coming from the right side near the battery. would disconnecting the battery work?

Re: STUPID ME...

Call AAA.
Your battery is dead.

Either that or take the battery out, go get a new one.
(Since you don't have insurance/license)

I doubt it's anything to do with the wires.

Re: STUPID ME...

The lights will still work if you have one cell alive in the battery. The lights draw less voltage than what it takes to start your car.

Why did you let your insurance lapse and why are you without a license and still driving?

What? You think that John Kerry is not consistent?

Re: STUPID ME...

FYI, lots of electronics will still work when the battery voltage is really low. During startup though, the engine needs HUGE amounts of current, which your battery can no longer support.

If you don't mind spending some money, I'd suggest getting a new battery... if you keep with this battery, from now on you have to be really careful about leaving the electronics on while the car is off, 'cause that battery can't hold as much charge as it used to.

Re: STUPID ME...

If you have 6mt, I can tell you how to start with a dead battery. But you have to get a licence and insurance first. If you have 5mt, then you are SOL, LOL. And FYI, the first step when doing a mod, especially a mod involving wiring is to disconnect the battery fcol.
