What did i break? (nevermind)

It was the starter solenoid wires. I could have sworn I put them back on right. I found a picture that showed the two smaller wires both on the bolt on the left. Again, I could have sworn when I took mine off that they were on one each. No grinding now though.

Replaced the battery cables. Pain in the butt to do. I know I broke a bolt on the solenoid that is on the fender. I replaced that. When I start the Ex it makes a god awful metal on metal sound. Is it the starter not disengaging?

2 things to add about doing the negative cable at the engine mount:
1. I cranked my wheels hard to one side (engine off) and power steering fluid flew out
2. I don't think I have the bolt completely tight. It got dark so I had to stop.

LOL at the power steering fluid flying out.

Yea, I've noticed when I had to pull my ex home after my wreck, it was missing a lot of power steering fluid. Does it every time I turn the wheels with the motor off. Guess it's forcing the fluid out of the box and overflows the pump reservoir.
