    hi, i was changing the radio in my car (01 mitsubishi lancer) and when i was putting it back into the dash a wire came loose that i wasnt aware of and when i switched to acc to check to see if it was working again the raido wouldnt come on so i tried starting up the engine but it wouldnt start, so i checked the the fuse for the raido in the main fuse box and it was blown so i replaced it and now raido is back working but car still wont start and the alarm or immobiliser keeps beeping when i try to start her up.

    any ideas on whats causing it not to start would be much appreciated.

    thanks.

    you possibly shorted the battery - try getting someone to jump start you...

    nope not even turning, i thought it may be the battery but thats ok, im after checkin all the fuses inside and out and they are all ok, there is an aftermarket alarm in it and i think the immobiliser is a factory one not 100% only got the car a couple of weeks ago
