Just a follow up question to "bug in the ignition" I replaced the BR when the car wouldn't start in the run position and it worked. I also noticed that the battery cutoff was burned out too. So I replaced that also. Car seems bulletproof, but I am wondering why it happened in the first place.

So...I parked the car at dusk and I left the headlights on for about 20 minutes. I did not think the lights would wear the battery down but I was wrong. I tried to push start it but it didn't work. A buddy then got out the jumper cables and the situation went downhill. The car immediately fires up, revs high then shuts down completely. The jumper cables get super hot and the car is completely dead. Something blew the Ballast Res' and blew out the battery disconnect switch. Luckily it didn't melt down the whole thing. Do you guys have any thoughts on why it happened and what can be done to make sure it doesn't happen again. I am now reluctant to jump it again(if it ever needs to be). I was thinking about a bad ground but everything seems OK right now. Where would this bad ground be? And why only during the jump?
