car won't start anymore after using msc editor
I built the car and it worked fine, but then I used MSC Editor and fixed the stock parts. strangely enough this emptied the fuel tank, despite the msc editor saying that its full. I refueled it and the car just won't start. it does those starting noises, however, after some time they stop, and when they stop, nothing works anymore. even when buying and building in a new battery, nothing will happen when I try to start it, not even the lights on the dashboard. how canI fix this?

First, check the Satsuma Report and make sure all the bolts are tight.

Then make sure your fluids are up to 100%.

If you load back in and your battery is dead, put it on the charger in the garage and wait for the needle to go all the way to the LEFT (0 amperes). Reinstall the battery, making sure you tighten the bolt to the REAR of the car first, then the bolt by the Radiator second.

Also, double check that the 5mm bolt to the starter is tight, MSCE can sometimes unscrew it for some reason, then give it a shot.

thats the thing, according to msc editor, everything is fine all fluids are fine, all parts are fine since i just fixed them with msc editor.. when I put the battery on the charger after starting the car until nothing works anymore, the charger also says 0 ampere. but the car doesn't work anymore. I just checked the starter bolts and as msc editor said, everything is tight. I really don't get what's wrong

Share the save file, if we have to look at it.
Need the "defaultES2File" and "items" files.

When you're using the editor and mods it's best to make backups of the entire save folder whenever you intend on editing your files. That way you can drop all the files back in as they were if you happen to have a problem, especially when you're using mods. Nothing should "break" your save files, unless you get them mixed up or don't use all the same mods you were using with a certain save.
If you still have the save files or you can restore that set of files from the recycle bin, you can upload it to nexxus mods or something and someone can look at it and fix it. Lemme know, i can look at your game and just tell you whats wrong or i can just fix it for you :)

i think i still have some old backup files from the main .txt file. I could send you that if you want. I can send it to you on discord if you give me your name and number if you want to. I wasn't far into the game anyways, i literally just built the car and just came back from license plate guy. so restarting isn't that big of a deal.
