Disconnect the wires and see what happens.

Did you follow the instructions?

Thanks stuart, I did everything correctly, I'm just and idiot, the battery just didn't have enough juice to turn the engine over, I jumped it and everything is okay. I just got worried because all of the lights and radio were still working, Thanks

Extra lights that use lots of power are very hard on charging systems and batteries.
Extra anything is really.
You may want to look into upgrading the charging system and battery.
