Mar 3, 2016 at 1:47 comment added VaTo @NickG no, Im saying the jumper gets hot all the time, when the car is running, the last time I wanted to change it because it looked old and burned and I couldn't even touched it. I usually get a new one every once in a while when the jumper is so melted, my mechanic told me I need to get a new fuse box and I still haven't bought it.
Mar 2, 2016 at 21:58 comment added Nick G That was the point of my comment....the reason was the reversed jumper cables. Usually this causes MAJOR wiring problems or even this - functionalfitnessva.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/…

Mar 2, 2016 at 19:55 comment added VaTo I wasn't that lucky, two days after that I had to replace the alternator.
Mar 2, 2016 at 19:12 comment added Nick G Yeah, I'm pretty sure it wasn't melted due to engine heat. Remember that time you connected your jumper cables reverse polarity? You're so lucky it wasn't worse.
