Not Starting, probably electrical

Was driving home, took a turn and my amp ground wire flew out of the amp...i have no idea how because the amp is mounted and the wire was tight in there, but i guess not tight enough.

Anyway...all the gauges go all the way down, even the gas gauge, but the car is still driving. I feel a little loss of power, but i make it to my driveway...i let it idle for a little bit and the gauges go back to normal and everything seems fine. I drive inside the garage, turn the car off without turning the headlights off, and they turn off as soon as i turn the car off.

I try starting the car..NOTHING. the door lights are flashing for a few seconds, then they're back to normal, so i think everything's fine. I try to start it, and same exact thing again.

I turn the car to the radio position, and the radio is completely fine...plays cd's no problem. As soon as i put the car into ACC, all the power shuts off again like before.


so....

It's sounds like your poor wiring job fried your battery. I suggest getting your battery charged or replacing it.
