Hi all,

I’m wondering if someone can help with the following problem?

I went to change my battery today and without paying too much
attention disconnected the terminal leads. When i went to re-connect
them to the new battey, i noticed that the postive terminal connector
had two wires from it; one that goes to the starter motor and a yellow
plastic covered 5mm copper lead that was a foot long and had obviously
corroded over time and was disconnected.

I cannot now get any power to my car and i don’t know where this cable
from the postive battery terminal is supposed to go. THe negative
terminal has two cables, both earth, one to the chasis, one to the
engine block.

Does anyone know where this yelllow copper 5mm cable is supposed to be
connected? Me and a few mates have looked but have no idea.

Any help is appreciated,

Nick.

I would have thought it would go to the fusebox as it's the live feed for
the car electrics and ignition system. The other single lead only powers the
starter motor, so find the fuse/relay box under the bonnet and check the
connections there. You should have one niceley corroded terminal with a
small ammount of shiny metal showing where the connector broke off.
