Default New C7 z06 Battery issues

Hey Guys,

Just imported the car from USA and the shipper disconnected the battery for shipping purposes and when we tried to pull the car from the container it didnt start when we connected the battery like the factory’s sitting, instead we had to connect the red cable below is the currnet connection. I need your help in this guys should i be worried or just take it to the dealership?!

yes. that heavy gauge wire should be going up to the engine compartment starter/alternator.... but check for direct shorts to that cable as there is a good reason why the current fuse blew out.
