battery cable??

[wormhole]

How hard is it to replace the positive battery cable? The end of mine where it connects to the battery is messed up to the point that I have to move it around until I'm able to start my car. 98 4 cyl.

is the cable really corroded. if it is then u can clean that off with a wire brush

I just replaced my terminals, which meant I needed to get some more slack in the wire. So do what I did: follow 2 wires (for my gen 3 it had one for the starter, one to the fusebox) and cut off the casing (plastic tubing and electrical tape) in order to gain more slack. I got at least 4 inches this way. Then just cut and strip the wires. If you go this route, you'll need new terminals, so thats 15 bucks for a gold plated one, 25 for both at autozone. good luck!

Check the stickies in the AV forum. There's one on extending stock battery wires. Pretty easy actually.
