'05 Battery Cables

So I have had some trouble finding replacement battery cables. The dealership tried to sell me a new wiring harness which was over 400$. I have a corroded battery and terminals and the cables look like they have seen better days. This weekend I am installing new off road lights and thought I would put in new cables and a battery. I have searched the forums and the Chilton guide and I can't find what I'm looking for. Any help is appreciated.

 

The positive one is easy. Just go to an auto parts store and buy one of the battery terminal ends that has a threaded stud. Replace the wing nut with a regular nut. Do NOT get the cheeseball clamp on "emergency battery cable repair ends".
The negative cable does not have a removeable end and goes into the wire loom and down younder. A replacement cable from the auto parts store will be cheap, but a little more work to change. Make sure you get one with the extra pigtail to go to the fender.

 

The cable was good once the terminal was cut off. Put a 1/0 lug on it and Marine terminals. Thanks for the idea.

 

Nice work! I'm impressed!

 

Thanks the ones I put on yesterday sucked but I could not get it crimped tight enough. I drove to my dads grabbed a new lug and used this bad boy to put prompter crimps and heatshrink around all the connections.


Made a custom bracket too.

now I just have to run wire since I mounted all my lights too.

 

I so need to do this. I have a fuse block and breaker, but just keep adding things to my battery

 

Wow! Really nice work!

 

I'm sure you've already seen them, but in case you haven't, there are molded plugs that fit those relays.
