Why does the battery posts spark when you hook them up?
WanbliGleskaTokahe
If you see a spark then something is on pulling power from the battery. If everything is turned off on the vehicle then you should not see any large spark. You will see a very tiny spark because the radio presets and the clock will be drawing a slight amount of power, but if the spark is very large then look for something that is pulling power. A light on somewhere or a stuck relay.

The solenoid will have two big posts and one or two small posts. Mark and remove the wires from the small posts. If you have one small post you can hook up a jumper wire from the + side of the battery to the small post and it should make the starter crank over. If it has two small posts hook one jumper from the + side of the battery to one of the small posts and another jumper from the - side of the battery to the other small post. If it is OK it will engage the starter. If you get nothing then the solenoid is bad.
