DIY Throttle body heater bypass

I did this about a week ago, and now my car won't turn on. There seems to be a lack of power going to the engine. Is this related to the heater bypass DIY??? HELP

Has absolutely NOTHING to do with that DIY. You probably disconnected something by accident when you were doing it.

Oh, and try connecting your cars electrical system to another friend's car (aka jumping) and see if it starts. if it does start right up, the problem is battery-related

I took it to a local honda dealership after I jumped my car and they said that it is a battery or alternator problem. I pick it up tomorrow. They said that they have seen a few vics with battery defects.
