Ok, I'm trying to get this done within Luke the next hour! So I bought this battery terminal but it's not the sane as my original...



Ok, here's the new one...




That's where it connects...




Here's the original! Ok it has the other wire coming off the side, can I cut it and connect both wires to the single hole in the new one???

 

Anyone?!?

 

Yes hope u have a pair of wire cutter razor blade and pliers....ok
Cut off the end.
Take your razor blade and cut open the wire so it shows about a good half inch.
Cut off materl flush with about half inch.
Nxt take pliers and twist the wire part together now use in new terminal

 

Ok, so it doesn't really matter if the two wires touch inside the new terminal?

 

Then smear a good amount of dielectric grease on the exposed wire connections...


And they are touching via the lead cable end, btw.

 

Nope not at all BC they are the positive wires and get the same power.

 

Thanks for the info! I thought so but hat wanted to make sure!

 

No problem

 

You really need to get the correct cable for touble free repair.

 

It would be better. The problem
Is they don't carry them at ANY of the automotive stores around here! I could get a positive cable from the dealer for $167!!! I'm sorry but unless my jeep won't run without it I'm not about to drop over $150 on a stinkin cable!

 

What size man

 

4...

 

...4 gage wire at any electronic store should benaround 60$ for 20 ft

 

I looked all over the place and most of the wires that came off the side of the terminal and connected to the sensor relay were to small... I finally just went and got one with the side wire about half the size of the original. As I was buying it I struck up a conversation with the cashier about it and he said that it may work but if it was his car he wouldn't do it. So I didn't buy it...

 

The larger wire wasn't the problem! It was the smaller wire that cane off of it
