    How do I fix : Battery Negative ground wire?

    Hey everyone,
    Ever since I bought my car , the battery negative ground wire was never connected to the chasis. It looks like the connection between the wire and the part bolted on snapped. What is the process to fix this? What would the part be for the ground terminal?

    My only experience with this comes from soldering and stripping much smaller gauge wires. I'm a little worried about doing the wrong things. Please help ?

    Get a new connector or use a new cable. I use big amp power wire and made my own. Connect one end to baytery and other end to chassis.

      just cut off that old connector strip the end and crimp on a new end. you got room.

      if your worried about it coming loose get the kind that crimp and have solder in them with shrink wrap. so you crimp it on and take a lighter to it, the wrap shrinks and the solder inside fuses onto the wire.

        X2 thats the best option.
        It's no different than soldering smaller wire except that you will need to use more solder, and use a lot more heat - Like a butane torch.

        If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

          please remove battery before using a butane torch

            I just use 4ga crimps, like you would use when wiring an amplifier in a car. You can buy packs of 2-4. I use a pair of channel locks to crimp them, so they get a good hold.

              I used this idea, plus then soldered the unit on to the wire, then electical tape around any exposed wire.
