Changing old smoke detector?

Hi, I am a novice when it comes to electrical work but I don't want to spend $100 plus dollars for installation. I currently have old smoke detector and I want to replace it with a new smoke detector that came with a wire harness. I know you just match the colors- white to white and black to black. I turned off the main power and removed the old detector.I then removed the wire nuts that hold the wire together. After removing the wire nut on the black wires I noticed that the tips were fused together there was no way to remove it with my hand. So can I just cut above the wire to separate the wires and then strip the wires and reconnect with the wire nut? Do I need a special tool to cut the wire or can I just use normal scissors to cut through the wire?

Answer:

Yeah you're just friends. You said yourself that's all you wanted to be. If you want to be more than friends tell him to reask you out (well hint it don't just say it). If you don't wanna be more then STOP FLIRTING
Get your owner's manual. You have somehow took the vehicle out of Valet mode. That is the mode you use when someone else will park the car and drive it. You can get a replacement keyless remote just like your wife's. Some auto parts stores have them. Some you have to order online. You don't have to go to the dealer. Read the following link about Valet mode and turning it on and off. Ignore the part about the secure key.
