Orange Wire at Battery

953500 · 11-01-2009, 11:19 PM

My radio quit working. The orange wire broke off when trying to tighten the cable connection.

Is the radio the only thing affected by this orange wire?

Thanks

Not unless someone rewired it with a non-stock wire at the battery.
Should be three smaller wires at the battery when stock.
One to the grid heater relays, one to the the shutdown solenoid relay and one to the underhood fuse box.

I have one blue 16 Ga, one black 12 Ga (two wires merged into one connection), and the orange wire that just broke off, no Ga number on this one.

Can I just put a new connection on the orange wire and tighten it back on?
