Was changing my battery and the wires for the negative terminal came loose. Any quick fixes for this before I am supposed to go to work in an hour?

Thanks Guys,

The PO of the jeep rigged it without much thought but was able to pb blast the bolts and get the wires nice and tight in there.

I think this was actually impacting how my jeep started. before the fix it would spike to almost 2000 rpms when it turned over. now it stays well below 1000
