I went to Kragen, Pep Boys, and a local audio shop and none of them really wanted to help me, knew what I could do, or had the part I needed.
One guy at Kragen said that if I choose to use a wire to connect all 3 ground wires and then connect that wire via an eyelet to the terminal, I should try to make sure that I use a large gauge wire as the ground will not be independent anymore.
The problem is, NONE of the stores have any wires that accept a wire on one end and have an eyelet on the another end...?
I'm kind of freakin' out because I can't drive my car without a battery and I have to leave for college in a week (not to mention I have a CEL to take care of)...
mycainsbroken: you said you used a an eyelet...was this a wire with an eyelet, or just an eyelet? Because if it is just an eyelet, there isn't enough length on the ground wires to reach the terminal with just an eyelet. Also...how did you remove the ground wires that are crimped to the metal plate...did you cut the wires before they met the metal plate, or did you undo the crimp? I'll try PM'ing you...
The thing I don't get is I've seen tours without this stupid metal plate at all (either stock from the factory or after an audio install...)? Why do some tours have them and others don't?
