VERY frustrated!! a couple weeks ago the neg. lead on my battery melted off,completely melted the lead/solder and i have no idea why. i checked the battery cables to make sure they didn't melt and ground out on something,there fine. Tried another battery,nothing but sparks when trying to hook it up.No fuses are blown.WTF is going on here! what else is there to check? i really have no idea what to do and this car is pissing me off

well you have a short some where it should hav blown a fuse but look like its some where there is no fuse it didnt melt the main battery lines because they are the biggest it will melt smaller ones first start tracing lines until you find the short

I think a bad ground will do this as well. If I remember right I did shave the paint off the ground I made in the trunk when installing my subs...went to hook up negative and it melted it completely within seconds.

anyone have something showing were all the grounds are so i can check that out,im thinking it might be this because i was having grounding issues when i first got the car and the problem magically went away somehow so i never worried about it.
also how do i change the actual bolt that you screw into the terminal,thats done for as well.
