I have been having problems with my ford tempo and i can't figure out what is wrong with it

Sounds like you have a dead short some where on the frame ground, clean the other post cable also , and when you get it started with another batt, wiggly wires and see if it dies

It's a Ford. What did you expect?

Reclean your battery posts , and tighten all up again , scrape the inside of the cable clamps with a kinfe or a good cable cleaning tool

If this happened right after you replaced the + cable go back to the cable remove the positive lead from the batt check where you replaced it on the solnoid make sure the batt lead is the first wire to go on the terminal make sure it is solidely against the terminal then add the other wires and tighten making sure the wires will not move===check the other side if solnoid make sure that lead is tight === check negative side of batt making sure the terminal is clean and tight == then reconnect the a fully charged batt and try to start it

Im with the cleaning the batery post use a 2 doller post cleaner dont do a half way job also there are boty grounds and engine grounds they must be cheacked
