I need some help please!

Ok. About two weeks ago my battery somehow corroded the negative wire that is connected to wear the battery holder is. I replaced the battery,connected the new negative cable to where the old one was (removing the old cable completey) and everything appeared to be fine. Now all of a sudden when i start to drive the ABS light comes on along with the BRAKE light and i hear a ticking. My radio starts to flash as well. I removed the ABS fuse and the lights stayed on but no ticking and the radio worked...however, when ever I turned on the heat/air or turn on headlights the radio turns off and turns back on and the lights flickered.

I managed to drive it today and got to class, now the car won't turn on at all. Can anyone tell me whats goin on

The cable i used was this one by the way, <a href="http://bit.ly/bnHpaT" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/bnHpaT</a>.

I'm not sure where that little yellow piece is supposed to connect to so I just left it.


Edit:

I'm thinking something somehwere is loose. when i open the car door nothing happens. no lights,no no power locks. nothing. HOWEVER, if I sit down slightly in the car (putting a little weight on the drivers side where the battery is) lights come, it starts, but I still get those lights from before.


I really don't wanna spend a whole bunch of money to fix this since I plan to get a new car in sept when I can afford it. Any help would be GREAT appreciated!

There is likely a power or ground distribution problem. Go back to the battery area and be sure you reconnected everything correctly. The body ground and secondary power cables must be connected.

The ABS will alert you by lighting both the ABS and BRAKE warning lamps if the ABS power relay is not getting 12VDC.
