Car not starting right
So one day I tried to turn on my car and it failed. Kept making sparking noises and my friends said they saw sparks near my engine when I was trying to turn it on. Also when I pushed my breaks my car radio turned off. And when I slammed my door the radio turned back on. The interior lights are clicky and the headlights are not responding right away when I turn it on, it lags a bit. Could it be that my cables to the battery are loose? I also checked the water level of my battery and it was really low, but I added distiller water til half an inch from top and then had my car jump started and I drove for around 30 minutes to try to charge my battery because I thought it couldn't hold a charge since there was no water. But the next day I tried to start the car again it wouldn't start. What could be the problem? I'm pretty sure it's not a dead battery I've only had it for two years and it's a 7 year warranty. My car is a 2000 ES300. I'm thinking loose battery cables and not the starter right? Hopefully help!

Around the starter. But I think I got it to work fine now. It was just the water level problem. After I added the distiller water in the battery I just needed to give it a good drive to power up all the electrolytes so that the battery can hold a charge. I still don't know why the radio was being trippy tho but at least it's working find
