What is your question?
The battery died again after key was left in it about 10 min. Went to get a jump and pulled the negative cable . Felt some electricity trickling up my arm . The positive cable disconnection did not do that.

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. Feeling electricity, as you've described, does not provide evidence of anything. Just disconnecting a cable can cause some impulses, perhaps. The best way to determine where a parasitic draw is coming from (if indeed it is a draw) is to use a DVOM hooked up to the battery cables, check for amperage draw and remove fuses one by one to see when then amperage drops off. The fuse of the related circuit will lead you to the area of concern. You mentioned the key was left in the vehicle - it may be "normal" or be caused by a weak battery that you have a no start. Worth checking there first. https://repairpal.com/auto-repair-near-me Click the link or call us at 877-913-1554. We'll gladly find you a certified RepairPal shop in your area.
