If you car dies once your remove the jumper cables, it is most likely an alternator problem. Take your car to AutoZone or somewhere similar and they will test it for you. It could be that there is not enough charge in the battery to sustain the alternator. Try keeping the engine round 1500 revs while taking the jumper cables off.

What would cause jumper cable to melt when jumping battery after you stop cranking car it actually trys to crank by itself without turning key?
The starter relay or the internal starter relay solenoid contact is closed either by 12 volts still applied to the relay or starter or the contacts have welded themselves together. Welded together sounds good if the starter is shorted and that would cause the cables to overheat also.

How do you connect a car battery cable to a battery not in the car?
It would be essentially the same as connecting a battery in the car, except with longer cables. You would have to use jumper cables to extend the car battery cables. Be sure to follow ALL safety procedures. Do NOT let anyone or anything metal touch anything else except where you make the connections. Do not touch the metal connectors themselves. I assume there is no battery in the car. I will call the battery that is not in the car the "external battery". First connect the positive ("+", usually red) jumper cable to the positive car battery cable, & then the other end of that jumper cable to the positive external battery terminal. Then do the same with the negative ("-", usually black) car battery cable & jumper cable. The last thing you connect should be the far end of the negative jumper cable to the negative terminal of the external battery. When you are ready to disconnect the external battery from these cables, do so in reverse order, starting with disconnecting the negative ("-", usually black) jumper cable from the negative external battery terminal.

What is a cable car?
San Francisco is the city famous for its cable car system. A cable car is a vehicle with no motor. It is moved along a track by a cable. There is an engine at some point along the route which pulls the cable through a system of pulleys. A groove in the pavement keeps all of these mechanics below ground level and each car has an arm which can reach into the groove and grip the cable. The cable moves continuously and the car operator releases the cable to stop and grips it to start. A funicular railway, or cable railway, is similar but the cars are permanently attached to the cable and the cable must stop when the cars stop. These are usually used where there are no intermediate stops.

Why won't the jumpers cables start your car when there placed right?
If they are hooked up right and the motor won't turn over, you could have a bad battery cable in the car you are trying to start. Try hooking the negative jumper directly to the motor block, if it starts then, you have a bad ground cable. If not, try hooking the positive jumper to the terminal on the starter.
The car turns off suddenly while driving?

How do you open the boot on a BMW 840 with dead battery and no key?
You can then open the hood and provide power to the vehicle with jumper cables and a donor car. If all else fails you can jack the vehicle up, support it on a jack-stand, and attach a red jumper cable to the starter positive red cable where it connects to the starter and then attach black cable to any metal place on the engine. You can use this procedure to charge the battery with either a battery charger for jumper cables from a donor vehicle.

Can you jumpstart a Mercedes e320?
Even though the battery for the Mercedes e320 is located under the back seat of the car, you jump start the car from under the hood like all other cars. On the driver side above the wheel there is a metal post. Beside that post you will find a small black box that has a red symbol on it. Flip the lid and you will see a positive post for the jumper cables. Connect your red jumper cable to this post. The black jumper cable will be connected to a post that you will see is welded right to the body of the car. Once this process has been done, jump starting is done like any other car.
