97 Cobra won't start after wiring
I really need some help, i was wiring my fog lights independently by following this: http://www.americanmuscle.com/indepe...foglights.html stupidly i didn't disconnect the battery... Well i guess something short circuited and now the car wont even turn over. I tried jump starting it/charging the battery and nothing. I also tried unplugging both terminals for over an hour still nothing. One thing i noticed is that the brake light turns on when i turn the key which ive never seen the car do that before and the theft light flashes. i checked the button in the trunk and it's pressed in. i checked every fuse in the car and checked the grounds above the driver side headlight. i'm thinking something set the anti-theft off or something and it's not allowing me to start it. i tried putting the wires i spliced back to the way they were before. one thing i noticed is when i touch the black/red wire from the fog light swith plug to the purple/orange wire from the convertible top harness i hear a clicking in the engine bay towards the driver side not sure if thats related?
do you think my pcm is bad? maybe it blew if something short circuited? i really need help because its my daily and i had to get a ride to work today and i work all week. help me!! thanks for any info

just tried again and the theft light only flashes when the door is open. the brake light comes on whenever i turn the key which it never did this before. also the air bag light dims and the clock and radio and hvac shut off but all lights stay on.
