Re-check all the electrical connections you touched while replacing the cables. Also, try cleaning the battery terminals (both the cable end and the battery post) and make sure that your connections there are good too. You probably have a loose/bad connection somewhere.

I'm not exactly sure, but I remember when my battery was dead, it would just click. Have you tried to get a jump?

same thing happened with me actually, it would try its damndest to turn over but there just isn t enuff power to have it actually turn it on. and if its a standard, try to pop start it, hondas pop start easily.
