Default It really must be my lucky day, first over heating problems, now the damn thing won't start...

Yeah, I just went outside to start my car and for God knows what reason, it won't start. I got 3 clicks from the starter, then nothing. Then I went to do it again, got the same 3 clicks and then nothing. The third time, I turned the key, and the car went entirely dead and now I have no power in the car. I tested the alternator the other day and it was good because I had the same problem. I have no clue what this car is doing, someone please help...

Negative battery cable wiggled itself loose. I was so worried about the positive one, I didn't bother to check the negative one. Thanks alot
