okay..i posted about installing a deck into a 1994 Regal, i got help and i found the harness/antenna (i'll need a antenna adaptor). However, when i unplugged the car's harness, i plugged it into my deck and checked to see if the deck worked. The deck didnt work, so i plugged the car's harness back into the car. Now, here's the problem: now the car wont start! did i blow a fuse or something?? WHAT DID I DO?! someone help me please

check if the cars ion park

The car is obviously in park - im not stupid. I've checked the fuses and everything too. Maybe i disconnected something while i was removing the harness from the "silver box" that its plugged into? Im not sure. When i turn the ignition on the radio doesnt want to work either...and when i completely turn the key (as if turning the car on) it makes clicking noises and the battery dial thing on the dashboard goes all crazy (up and down really fast). I dont know what i did, but i think i ****ed it up pretty good. Also, when i disconnected the car's harness, the radio was on, so maybe thats what f***ed it up. I need to get it to start though - what did i do??

Depending on how long you have been working on it sounds like your battery is dead.

Well thats a sh*tty attitude! I didnt say you were stupid! you sound like your new at this game and when your installing anything can happen. If you ask for advice on a forum and you dont like the answer, dont be a jerk. In the last 18 years of installing I've seen many cars not start because the installer moved the shifter.
Have you been working on your car for hours with the domelights on? maybe next time pull the fuze out. Did you take a meter to check your voltage?.........Of course you did because you not stupid

I'm sorry for having attitude, but the way you said, "is the car in park?" sounded like a smart-*** comment (atleast thats the way i took it). I'm not on here to start arguments and disagreements, I'm just looking for some help. Under the dash on the passenger side is where I found the harness/antenna, and after i put everything back in place, i attempted to start the car and it makes a clicking noise in that area. Either the battery must be dead, or i accidently unplugged something while i was removing the harness/antenna. Once again, sorry for being rude - I just thought you were being smart and calling me stupid because i shifted the car out of park - sorry.

Holy man Shon, Sarcasism at its best there,
I have been installing for roughly 8yrs off and on, and I know that the domelight draws a nice current, but Im with you guys battery is a problem!! but I laughed when I saw this^^^

try boosting the car and let me know what sounds the under dash makes ( if any). my buddy has the same car so ill get him to come to the shop if stuff get wierd and you can tell me what the part looks like thats making the noise.

Okay, i'm pretty sure the battery is dead. Now the interior lights, trunk release button, automatic doors/windows/seat, radio, etc. won't work. I posted above that when i turned the key it made a "clicking" sound, well, there is no sound whatsoever anymore. Anyways, i am pretty sure the battery is dead, but maybe now - any thoughts?
