LOL! Loose cable, been there! That's why I suggested it.
But you missed a golden opportunity...

Don't forget to take the battery out

When you go to use the baking soda and vinegar don't forget to take the battery out of the car. You don't want all of the liquid going down into all of the electronics hiding underneath of it. Same for cleaning the cable ends, be careful!

This belongs in the C5 Tech section. Moving it over and hope you are able to get a fix to the no start problem.

You'll be just fine. Read the instructions in detail before you start. My frustrations were self-inflicted. The LMC5 works flawlessly.
