Got a rusty connection on one of the batteries that melted down the terminal (found out after it wouldn't crank so I cut the cable insulation back and discovered the rust). So, new battery and new cables. My questions are:
- how long are the cables? Am I going to have to get a cable that runs all the way from the battery box to the engine compartment? If not, does it connect somewhere under the seat? How do I access that area?
- where can I get new cables w/o giving away my first born child? In other words, besides Asco or Cat, can I use automotive cables? I may be able to cut it short where the rust stops and splice a new connector...going to check tomorrow.
- how do I prevent this from happening again (other than parking it under an awning)? The reason I believe it happened was from the exposed portion of the cable that was bolted to the connector.
