Hey I'll. let me start by saying I'm cheap and lazy......
The starter cable on my 2003 MM corroded and broke off right at the starter post (the main battery wire, not the solonoid wire). It looks like a new cable will be a real pain, as it is a one-piece harness that wraps all over the drivers side of the engine bay.
My concern is that if I completely replace the real cable there's no-way I can make it look like the factory wiring (because of the way everything is hooked up and taped together.).
Would I be an idiot to try and do a 3-inch patch cable from where the wire broke to the starter post?
