I have also pulled the fuse out and this makes no difference. Im panicking now and not sure what to do as I can’t even start my car

It sounds like the locking pin may not have been fully retracted when you cut the brown wire. If that is the case, you need to reinsert the fuse and reconnect the brown wire, hit on the ESCL until the locking pin actuates the internal switch(es), then pull the fuse (and/or disconnect the brown wire). See link in my sig for more info.
