i was getting the car jump and when i cranked up the seven, some popping sound accured and some spark came out of the engine bay and now that happened the car will not crank...there will be lites when the key is in but when u try to crank...it will not turn over and the lites that come up are now gone...also the car that was jumping my car also blew his battery fuse and could not get his car started till he replaced it...what you guys think happened to mine...could it be the main fuse that blew or what????what can i look for to see if the fuse is bad...has anybody gotten this problem....

 

Sounds like the battery cables are loose at the battery.

 

The main fuses should be in a narrow box by the battery. The main fuse is the 100A one in the middle. it's bolted in so make sure you unbolt it before you take it out. was it cranking when the noise happened or did it pop right when you hooked them together

 

i was actually putting in new plugs cause the car was flooding and then got a frend to hook up the jumper cables and when we tried cranking it thats when it happened...ones we turned the key it started popping then we stopped and when we tried turning it again it wouldnt.

 

it sounds like you have a bad short to ground. thats probably what the sparks were that you saw. that would also explain you blowing a fuse in the other vehicle. check your fuses to see if you blew anything also. if it is a short to do with the starter i dont think there is a fuse for that. so you can check all the connections for signs of electrical arcing or you can use an ohm metter to check for continuity.

 

well when we do crank it i see spark comin from the terminals off of the battery cable...what can i do to fix that or where ever else i see spark...

 

It is hooked up properly right?

 

yes it is hooked up properly

 

well if you see sparks at the battery terminal then it is loose. Clean the connection and tighten them down. You should not be able to wiggle the battery terminal connections when they are properly tightend. now see if it will crank. if it doesnt then check under the car for sparks when you crank it. if you see sparks then you have a short circuit or a loose connection there also.

 

so i decided to change the whole battery terminals and after that it fired up and got it to start since we pushed started it...we let it warm up for a bit and it seems good now....thanks guys for the help..
