Default C6Z starter wiring?

hey, my C6Z is currently in dealership service & they said they need a cable/wire that goes from the starter to the fusebox? they said the part itself is currently on back order.. don’t want to wait forever, rather just find one myself & bring it to them. what cable or wire could they be referring to? I fried my starter not too long ago, they replaced the starter now they need this other part. just trying to gather some info. i went through a few different threads & forums, & i think i know what i need but not entirely sure, thanks.

Better ask your dealer if they will install a part that you bought…sometimes they are funny with this thing !!

Ask the dealer if they will take the cable off and give it to you. Then take it to an electrical shop and have them make up a new one for you.

yeah might as well just eat the mark up and have them do it proper so they can't blame your parts if you wind up having trouble down the road...

They are not available anywhere when I needed one. There's one on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/33406706153...4AAOSw8LNg5PaZ What makes them think the cable is the problem?

thanks a lot! & i have no idea. they seemed pretty confident that was the issue. car would fire up initially after the starter replacement & idle for a few seconds then die. now they’re telling me it just clicks when they try & that they needed this cable

I've never seen that cable go bad unless damaged from header heat or an engine fire. Did they check/replace the battery? Are the nuts on the starter tight? Grounds tight- above the starter, stud on top of right framerail, ground on left side of block?
