    So I took the internals from a 97 Tacoma donor. I forgot to take note of the battery cable connection, particularly the 2 in my hand in my hand and the one next to it. Haven't found anything in the threads. Do they both hook to positive or is one a ground.

    The only way to know for sure is test with your meter.

    No way to know what might have been changed since new.

    Looks like all new battery cables might be a good idea!

    At least those temporary terminal ends.

    Did you ever find out where the connections go? I know one goes to a terminal in the fuse box ( top left if looking at it from the front of truck) but im not sure where the second one goes.
