What is going on here???????

So last night I hook up my water meth kit. Really wasn't that difficult to do. We then go and try to start my car and guess what....IT WONT START. Needless to say my buddy is an idiot and this is the last time I have him over to help on projects. Well now the car wont start. It tries to but wont turn over. Pretty sure he got power off of the radio, so if you have thoughts on what to do lemme know PLEASE!!!!

is it cold where you live? ignition switches on these cars cause that when cold. try and start the car and if you see the security light come on and not go out problem solved. get a new switch or buy a hair dryer. lol

also check fuses make sure you didnt touch two wires together that shouldnt have been.

does it turn over? or when you turn the key you get nothing but dash lights.

if he got the power off the radio does the radio work? and why he would use the radio for a power source is weird if anything go off the power outlet. also to power that usually you would want to make a direct power source off the battery with a fuse. i dont mean run wires from the trunk, but up at the fuse block where the main battery line connects.

if all else fails just disconnect everything and start over

ok so it cranks once then stops? make sure you keep the pedal to the floor and keep trying to start it. i had this happen to me once when it got cold.

does it just turn over once then stops? or does it just keep turning over?

if it keeps turning over then take the plugs out and see how wet they are. if wet the clean them up or try different plugs
