Default Car won't start anymore

I've been driving my car any chance as possible due to a weak winter here. I went to Mickey D's to get food and brought it home. I was going to go to the store. As soon as I pulled out in reverse and started driving. The car would stall each time I let out the clutch to go into second gear. Happened 20 times. I only did it that much as I have no one to help me push it. The car would do that, then one time, I stopped even doing that. I charged my battery and I don't drive far enough to get fully charged. So that's the first thing I did. No luck. All interior lights turn off when I put it to start the car or even sometimes turning it to accessory mode. I got the battery checked somewhere else as mine said it's healthy and charged. That place said the same thing. One group on FB told me to get the lmc5 which I bought and have. Before I did the brown wire mode, the car interior and dash would not turn off at acc mode and even when starting it.

Mine dumbass pulled out the 2nd green wire out off the long pink plug and put the brown in there and nothing changed. Now, I have no idea which green wire is correct this time. But all in all, the car will not do anything. Battery will charge in the house and that's it. I don't really wanna spend money on a new battery is that isn't the problem. Any ideas?

Edit: Tested the battery in my other car, and it works fine. So battery is not the issue.

Check your codes and post them up, this may give us an idea as to what is going on.

The column lock and key detection codes are obviously very troubling, but they will not cause the car to stall while driving. There are also a handful of low voltage related codes that I think are likely more pressing. As already mentioned by @30rpm, I would start with the grounds, especially the one below the battery, on the frame rail. You can find vids on the youtube that demonstrate the location of the 9 main vehicle grounds. Start with those in and around the passenger compartment, as well as the main one at the battery. There is a ground strap that links the main ground under the battery to the engine block; this also needs to be checked and cleaned. Obviously, all of the grounds and ground splices should be checked, but for the time being, if the grounds for the headlights, or the tail lights are crusty, that won't keep the car from starting, nor cause it to stall.

Once the grounds are sorted, we can have a look at the power flow to the key components needed to start the vehicle. Note that we can't properly evaluate the charging system, until we can get the engine to start and run.
