So I tried jump starting my truck again today. This time I left the cables attached for 5 minutes in order to charge the battery a little. It started right up. My next step is to take the battery to a mechanic so that they can do a slow charge on the battery before I go buy another. I talked to the guy that did the wiring and he said the way to check to see if it is grounding out is to hold the connector close to the termina and if it arks or sparks it is grounding out somewhere or something is turned on. I tried that and I got no parking or sparking so I will proceed as if that is not the problem.
