Sounds like you have a flat battery, enough power to turn lights on not enough to turn starter, or secondly your starter is jammed,try tapping the motor with a hammer to release if this works replace starter motor.

there is a short somewhere ... check all your wires ... starting from the box

I can't see anything from here? I looked at an online parts book for a picture of one of your cats, this is what I found. I know from past experience with removing mufflers, clamp or not, they get rusted on there. I usually end up using a hack saw to get it off. Sometimes I have used a metal chisel and a 4# hammer. It's a pain. You have any experience with a cutting torch and welder? I looked in my database, it didn't have anything, sorry. A muffler shop might be able to help you?

my suggestions is to reboot the system by disconnecting your battery for a few minutes an reconnecting it.it might take care of it .

you have got a faulty spark plug or a on plug coil change the plugs or get the fault codes out of odb11 system that will tell you which coil has failed you will need a code reader to help or someone who has access to one

Hello Is it an electronic hand brake ?

Chilton or haines manuals are very helpful.Also, local parts stores will show you how if you ask them.You need the filler hose any ways.and some refrigerant.

what the heck is emergency bypass cable?

the common prob is caused by the wiring to the dual control valve corroded/oc behind the front bumper liner. the centre of the 3 wires going to it are favorite and should have battery voltage going to the centre wire check that using a load ie.a 21watt bulb bet its missing if so remove bumper liner untape the wiring and find o/c and repair or rewire the power from the underbonnet fuse box just above
