I have a feeling I screwed something up pretty bad. Monday I was trying to swap H7 halogen bulbs with LEDs for my after market headlights. They wouldn’t budge and my buddy from work told me since projector lights get hot it might’ve shrunk the plastic making it hard to pull off. I got the passenger side off, driver side was harder and from what I could barely see it looked like I cracked the bottom of the bulb or it was just the plastic so I said nvm. I’ll order new connection, cut the old ones off and install new better connections to avoid the same issue.

Put them back in. Driver side light was pointing to the right the next morning on the way to work. Still no issues. Just assumed since something was cracked it just wasn’t sitting right or I was carelessly touching the lens of the bulb and I formerly didn’t care. I would’ve just swapped it with the high beam bulb since they’re the same.

Yesterday (Tuesday) got out of work and I started the car and it struggled to turn on and turned off and cranked it again and it was fine.

Drive home, I speed up to pass some cars and after I did. Simply cruised and the car started accelerating like someone driving stick shift jerking the car. I threw it in neutral and it turned off and turned it back on and took a different route to avoid heavy traffic and it was fine until I was 2 blocks away from my house at a stop sign. Just wouldn’t turn on at all.

Put on my hazards and got out to check if they were on cause people kept stopping right on my ass waiting for me to go when I kept waving them to pass. The rear lights were on. The passenger side, fine. Driver said, only the signal light was working but the low beam was on.

Tried to unplug the headlight assuming it was that. I couldn’t. It was stuck as well.

Managed to turn on the car and parked it and shut off on its own.
Got the same message I got all the times it shut off. “Service airbag” “service steering” and when I managed to unplug the light I turned it on and got home. At one out it even said It said I needed gas when I had just filled it up on Sunday.

Looked up why this is and “faulty wires” can be one of the issues…

Changed the battery since the guy at oriellys said it was bad. Went the dealership to see if I had warranty on my battery. They said no so I bought one. Installed it and same thing. Couldn’t put my window up. No crank, no start.

Looked up some stuff and could be

1. A fuse (didn’t find any blown fuses).

2.Only one idk how to test if the battery fuse is bad.

3. Battery or alternator

4. Mobilizer?

So I went to grab some old key fobs. One still happened to work. Was able to lock and unlock the car. I tried that one and the car turned on and I was happy and then it shut off…. Tried turning it on again and nothing. Does the same thing. No crank, no start…

So I’m lost on what to do. I thought of saying screw it and change the battery fuse since it’s only about $34 and hope it works but if it’s not that then I’m assuming it the mobilizer. Since the current key didnt work and an old did. I was even able to put my window up.
