I think I might need to replace the positive cables.
Daughter just returned from a short trip; went to restart & nothing, everything was dead (dome, radio, etc).
I vaguely recall a similar issue when I sparked the starter changing the oil filter once, and again after I replaced the starter.
This time, I went to start it, turn the key, AC blows, dome light on, go to start & a tiny click somewhere & all is dead again.
Disconnect the pos wire, and put it back on the battery terminal & it fired right up.
So it could be something else; but I want to change the battery wires as they already look 'homemade', stripped ends, spiced into the battery terminal connector, etc.
Can I just go to AZ, Oreilly & get the right length pre made, or will it be a homemade job too?
Could it be something else?
