Ok heres the deal, I hit a deer and it mesed upmy radiator, ac, and hood.

I started taking things out today to get ready for the new parts. I decided totake out he AC unit. When doing thi I cut a line in the back of the firewall. There are 3 metal lines an I cut the one closest to the passenger side. It was a Powersteering line! Now the car wont start. I tried patching th line with hose but it just isnt tight enough.

Someone please tell me why it wont start.

Powersteering line? Is it a metal cable or an electrical wire?

Are you sure because you might have cut your clutch cable (hense it not enguaging and not allowing the car to start) or maybe some connection to the battery. Does the car have power when you switch it to the ACCII thing?

I sure it was a metal tube like line. It wants totur over but it wont. And where I patched the tube with silicone hose and clamps it spits out power steering fluid every couple seconds.

I smelled it to make sure it wasnt a fuel line and it is power steering fluid.
