Battery cable fix?
Since I am a cheap A$$....and I have a cracked/broken battery terminal on the passenger side.....
I was wondering if anyone has had the same issue and come up w a fix.
I really do not want to spend the $ on a complete assembly.

Probably the cheapest thing to do is get a two terminal battery clamp and ends to crimp on the wires. I am assuming this is the positive cable on the passenger battery? This will require two ends to crimp and a crimping tool, but you have to pull the cables out to crimp them.

First off,, have you priced the battery cable?? It's surprisingly inexpensive. I keep one on the shelf. It's less than 100. And it's driver side, to pass side, to remote start wire, to starter,,, with all the looms and push pins on it.

I'd just stop by the parts store and pick up a new end. They make the metal style clamp that goes over the battery terminal. There is also a crimp on connector that will bolt to the new terminal clamp in the package and I believe it's about $6.
