When your engine suddenly stops, and you can't even switch on the emergency 4-way flasher, the sudden lack of power from the battery may be due to some PO's idea of how to connect extra wires. These 3 pix show how mine appeared when I traced the fault - not luridly bodged when viewed from one side, but more obvious from the other side.
The proper fix is to crimp or solder the new wire for the extra device onto the brass lug. Short of that, a quasi-bodgie fix is to jam the loose wire under the brass ... strictly a get-you-home 'fix'. |
