I broke the connector that goes from the battery to the PDC on my 95 XJ. The other positive cable runs from the battery to the starter and has a weird terminal at the starter end. There is another wire (green) that also runs from the same terminal at the starter to a connector near the PDC. Of course, no local auto parts places stock this setup.
So, I'm thinking I can pick up a generic cable from the auto parts store and eliminate the funky starter terminal and just use a regular lug. I would cut the green wire at the starter and just crimp a regular lug on the end. Any reason why this wouldn't work?
The other issue is that the wire from the battery to the PDC has two terminals. It appears that both terminals at the PDC are connected together. Do both need to be connected or can I get away with just one?
I don't need an upgrade in this situation, just need to get this thing running again ASAP.
