Yes, I have seen the voltage sensor go out and cause a problem, you should be able to test through it to confirm.

Thanks, i got it downloaded. Also, i was checking continuity on the four wires going to the tipn and when i connected to the ground all four showed continuity, i also tried connecting to the positive and all four showed continuities again. Should this be this way?

You should not have sparks at the battery like that so there must be wiring that is damaged to ground. I would do another inspection of the wiring harnesses.
