I thought I had a bad battery so I bought a new battery. I nearly cooked it. It started OK but quit after a few seconds of running. The voltage dropped quickly and the battery started smoking. Both cables were super hot. There's something shorting out. Where to start checking? I've never had anything happen like this on a car so I haven't a clue what is the problem. It doesn't seem like the starter solenoid is sticking.
There's no sparking when I first connected the battery but I got some sparks after I disconnected it. I didn't want to leave it connected after his happened fearing damaging the battery or frying any wires.
