The key was OFF and out of the vehicle when this was done. So I took a look at the starter relay and what not and replaced it but it's still doing the same thing every time the positive cable is hooked up. Also the factory terminal connector is the fat style and when it is in contact with the ALT cable it causes burns in the Lead. When I leave the primary off for the starter and hook up just the secondary cable ( alt recharge and power for everything else) everything seems to wrk just fine minus being able to start the vehicle.
What the hell is going on with this thing ?

the starter solenoid in the starter is defective...remove starter place on the ground and put jumper cables on it to test..if it spins with no power to the solenoid contacts buy a new starter..
