I replaced the destroyed batery end with a bolt on end. This is for a 1993 ramcharger with the Magnum 5.9 engine. It's probably similar for a lot of years.


1. This is the negative cable end. If you think this is messed up, take a look at the positive.
  
2. Yeah, this is about as messed up as it can be. It was making the charging system unreliable.

3. The positive side is a rather involved harness. This is one spot you need to disconnect.
  
4. And here is another connector.

5. It goes down and into a plastic wire loom.
  
6. This is one of the ground spots.

7. This loom is part of the positive battery harness.
  
8. It goes to something bolted to the block here.

9. And is clipped down here.
  
10. Here is the whole harness.

11. And another shot. You can see there have been repairs before.
  
12. The negative side is easy to replace. THe positive side is harder.

13. So I cut off the end and put a clamp style on.

What I didn't know at the time is that this is only a TEMPORARY fix. It will corrode, and corrode badly.

Get the real cable!
