No Fire Need Help ASAP ok, so my car has been acting very strangely lately...not holding a charge, making FUNKY sounds when I try to start it (almost like the dead battery ticking but sound more like the starter was doing it)
so I go under and see the purple solenoid wire on the starter had backed itself off, I reconnect that and now it won't crank, gauges don't move, it doesn't prime the fuel pump, it doesn't display mileage or anything like that, and the radio won't turn on....BUT I can turn the headlights on and dash lights come on, cig lighter still works, cutout switch still works...it has power I don't know why it doesn't work

Did you check IGN fuse in underhood electrical box #2? Headlights are protected by a fuseable link. Power to the purple wire comes from IGN fuse through the starter relay which also in the underhood #2 box.
