The positive side battery harness has corroded and some of the wires
are preventing my truck from cranking. I need to find the short
battery harness that connects to the positive side of the battery. I
called the local Nissan dealer and they want to sell me the whole
harness. They acted like they did not have the short harness.

The connectors and the wires seem to be the problem.

Where can I order the part? Part Number?

Would it be hard for me to rewire?

Would appreciate any help.

I'm not surprised that Nissan won't sell the piece you need. They only
want to sell overpriced entire cables. Either go to a junkyard or get
an aftermarket battery terminal, some appropriatly thick wire,
insulating material as needed and make the cable you need. Good luck.

Can I just cut the short cable off and just take all the wires and put
together to another solid cable with a ring?

Yes, any wires that electrically are connected to the positive terminal
could be joined together and connected to a thicker wire which in turn
you would connect to a standard battery terminal. As long as you're
just substituting one set of wires for another thicker wire, everything
should be the same electrically just different physically. I hope I'm
being clear. Al

Yo Al .

You may have forgotten to mention that those "wires" that are attached to
the positive battery terminal are "fusible links"

if you attempt to rewire those links you have in a sense bypassed the
protection that was built into the circuit in the first place.

If a repair is done this way, be sure to carry a fire extinguisher with you
