[QUOTE="Madlock, post: 15497632, member: 111289"] [ATTACH=full]79689[/ATTACH] Pulled a real boneheaded move. While replacing a battery and hooking up a quick disconnect harness for a wireless battery monitor and trickle charger, I inadvertently sheared the negative battery terminal compression bolt. Well done me. Of course, being Ford, one can't simply buy a replacement terminal without also buying the whole freaking negative harness that comes with it, even though the terminal is merely crimped on. I realize I could Home Depot my way out of this with a similarly sized nut, hex bolt and using two wrenches from now on, but this still is a brand new car and the same wicked OCD that caused me to be wrenching on my battery at 3:00AM would drive me insane knowing I'd done a bohemian patch job rather than using the correct parts. The terminal connector becoming all scratched up pisses me off enough already. Short of buying a whole new harness, I'm hoping someone out there might have a spare original negative terminal or, even better, the compression nut and bolt that secures the terminal to the post. I'm not above begging, but I'd be willing to back up my appeal with a little cash to boot. Many thanks to any who may be able to help. [/QUOTE]
