So I was pulling out of my driveway after installing some H&R sports and the exhaust started scraping on the driveway (we have a pretty big bump in the driveway) pretty bad so I started pulling forward. Well, I accidentally let the clutch out and the car died. I tried to restart it but nothing, no click, no crank, just absolutely nothing. I thought maybe the exhaust was pinching something but I jacked it up and couldn't see anything. Am I missing something? I would love to get it started but have absolutely nothing (I have juice because the glove box light will turn on). Help!

Okay, so this morning I went out there and checked the glove box light. It came on, so I thought I'd try to start the car. I put the key in and the parking brake, etc. lights came on (they hadn't before). I went to start the car and nothing again, no cranking, no sounds, nothing. Even the glove box light was out now. I'm definitely thinking it's the battery, if I could just get into the trunk.

Yeah, I want to get into the trunk but I can't get it to open. It's been stuck shut before this. My key will go into the trunk button and push in and turn but the cylinder button thingy won't "pop" back out. I don't know if that's the central locking acting up or what. Just trying to find a way to get into the trunk.

check for voltage at the front bus (under that plastic thing with the + on it). if there is no voltage, connect a battery via jumper cables. easy peasy.

Okay finally (with the help of my 11 year old neighbor!) got the trunk open and the battery cable was indeed loose. Anyway, got it put back on and took the car for a drive and it felt good! I think having new front struts/springs tightened up the steering and obviously the handling. Thanks for all the help. Now on to the rear shocks!
