Reloacted Alarm Speaker, Car won't start?!?!?!?!

So I wanted to relocat my alarm speaker. So I disconnected it, the alarm was off the car turned off, just parked in my driveway, but I left my battery connected. I unrapped were the splice was near the speaker and reran the two wires to where I wanted my alarm speaker to be, and the wires touched, but I didn't think that it mattered cuz everything is off right? so I continued and had to start my car to move it and put it on jacks, hummmmmmmm?????? it won't start it just clicks, all my assories are working but the starter won't turn [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

I have a clifford Arrow 3 basic install


any help would be great



ps. I have checked all my fuse boxes under the stearing wheel and also under the hood but they all seem ok??????

If two wires touched then the ignition fuse might have blew, check all your fuses!!!

Its possible that you blew a fuse on your alarm as well. Who installed you alarm, hopefully they werent dumb enough but.... When you hook up your starter kill, you hook up the starter wire to the nc (Normally closed) contacts on the relay. Which means that the starter wire works as normal if something should happen to the alarm. I have seen some people wire it to the NO (normally open) contacts, when means the relay has to have power in order for the 2 sides of the starter wire to have contact. The problem with that is if something happens your ignition kill relay goes from close to open and then you have no juice going to your starter. CHECK YOUR ALARM FUSES since that's what you were messing with.
