Positive battery cable

Has anyone ever changed out their positive battery cable on a V10? Mine needs changing due to the terminal being changed poorly by the PO. It's a ill pricy at about $120 and it runs into another harness. Idk if that harness comes with it or not. Just wondering how bad a job it is. Tks in advance!!

Looks like the OEM cable can be had for $62 plus shipping from Tousley Ford.

I saw that too but if u look at the disclaimer about estimate. I went to the dealer and pulled by my vin and with the discount he gives me, it was $120 I believe.

I'd give them a call, they have saved me quite a bit recently. I remember going to buy a tail lamp for my mom's Fusion; the local dealer wanted $136 and Tousley wanted $77. The price difference can be substantial. They are great to work with and I've bought lots of stuff from them in the past.

I've also had success with taking a price quote from Tousley to my local dealer and seeing if they could match it.

Yikes, I would check with Ebay and I won't set foot in the stealer unless I absolutely have to. What happened to the $3 cables?
