As far as I know and can tell, my Jeep's pos and neg battery wiring is stock and has never been modified. it certainly looks that way anyways with all of the loom in place.
I ordered a 2ga TJ "big 7" kit from jeepcables.com. I have two questions that I could use some help with.
One:
On my 2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ, I have 2 cables going from the Battery neg terminal. One goes to the firewall and the other goes to the engine block right below the head. In the kit I received from jeepcables.com, it came with the following, which obviously differs from my TJ:
- A cable that is labeled to go from Battneg to Engineblock
- A cable that is labeled to go from Cylinderhead to Firewall
- A cable that is labeled to go from Battneg to Fender
Can anyone confirm what they have on their TJ as far as stock neg/ground wires from the Battery? I've also emailed Paul from jeepcables.com, but would like to see what others have in their jeeps in regards to stock wiring.
Two:
In trying to remove the nut on the stud at the engine block, it started spinning what I now assume is a headless-bolt that threads into the block instead of stud and the wires are also actually stuck to the nut...so the wires are spinning as well....which is making it impossible to remove without damaging the wires. I've tried and tried to One, get the connectors of the wires to free up from the nut and Two to get the nut to break free from the bolt. I've used PB blaster on it as well. Any ideas/recommendations?
Thanks very much for any help/guidance.
