Sorry in advance for the dumb question lol.
On my 1997 Ranger with the 3.0, I noticed that there was a black cable hanging down near the starter not hooked up to anything. I followed the cable up and realized it is the negative cable directly from the negative terminal on the battery. What's strange is that the truck still starts, runs and drives just fine without it hooked up. But obviously, I want to fix it and I was trying to see if I could figure out where it is supposed to bolt to. I'm assuming it probably attaches somewhere to the block or the frame, right? But I couldn't see any obvious spots where it looks like it would've bolted to in that area.
Anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone could tell me where exactly to look? Or if anyone has any pictures or where their negative battery cable hooks to? I tried doing some searching on google and youtube videos but couldn't find anything related to the negative cable, just the positive.
