Unhappy What have I done? Car won't start.

Alright, so ever since I bought the car I've had the issue where my wipers would slam down on the intermittent/single setting. So I followed the instructions here: and successfully got my wipers fixed, as you can see in the video.

After fixing them I checked the oil and noticed it was right about at the L and needed some more (it burns oil and I have had to top it off many times, nothing new.). So I put in 400ml, cause that's all I had left at home. Then, I go to turn it on, and this:


I don't know what is wrong, all I was messing with was the wiper assembly, which works fine, and that small amount of oil I put in.

Did you remove your ground before working on your car? Make sure its connected securely and try again.

If that doesn't work, find someone with some jumper cables and try jump starting it, the only time my car has ever acted like that was when the battery was half dead.

yea, that is a classic sign of low battery power. Most likely jump it and have it run for a little bit off idle so the alternator can charge up the battery. You probably just left the KEY on while working on it or something simple.
