jumper cables shorted , now can't start car without jump
i was waiting for someone in my car and i think i used up all the battery.
i never jumped the car before so i tried to jump. but the positive jumper cable slipped and touched the negetive terminal for a good 10 secs. the cable melted for a bit but i pulled it out somehow.
Then i jump started the car successfully, but now the car won't start without a jump.
if i leave the jumper cables for a bit , i think it charges the battery somewhat , and i can start the car 2 or 3 times. Then i n ed to jump again or let the battery charge using the jumper cables.
Not sure if i damaged the alternator or battery or its just a fuse.
any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
