I was wondering if I can bypass the battery compartment junction box and hook both cables straight to the battery. I had a corroded connector and the junction and it melted it,
Hi T,
I believe typically:
The negative connection is a short cable that bolts to the frame just under the battery box.
The positive connection is the long cable that runs forward directly to the starter.
I'm not sure why the junction in your photo was added… was it part of a disconnect?
Regards,
Alan
Thanks guys. I wound up fixing the junction block with a new bolt. I replaced the short cable and connectors as well. Everything seems fine now and there is no heat coming from the wiring.
