Problem connecting Battery Disconnect Switch
Hey Gang,
I bought a side post, red top Optima battery to put in my '94. I had one in my '95 a few yrs. ago, and had no problems other than having to trim the tray. I had a battery disconnect switch on the '95, and there were no installation problems. Everything worked like a charm.
On my '94, the problem I'm having is I can't screw the negative battery bolt into the threaded hole on the disconnect switch. I can get a few turns in but no where close enough to have contact. I understand you can use washers between the negative bolt and the switch. Some say to use copper, others say it doesn't matter.
Any suggestions or does anyone know the cure?
Thanks,
Breezie

Yes, mine is like yours. The threads don't match up on mine. I'm thinking about removing the bolt and finding one that matches the threads on the switch.
