Hello All:

The positive battery cable on my '92 945T is corroded-- particularly bad on the outermost (toward the radiator) wire-- the insulation is split and the wire filaments are separated for an inch or so, and probably considerably further underneath the insulation.

My first thought was to replace the positive cable, but tracing it backward suggests that this is a little more complicated than most, given the number of wires and the routing of all these wires in their sheaths...

Can anybody tell me offhand what that outermost 1/4" thick red cable feeds? My first instinct is to open the cable sheathing a bit, cut the wire back until I get past the corrosion and then put a new end on it-- it looks like if I cut open the sheathing, I may be able to gain the additional length I need.

Has anyone replaced the positive cable? I can't find it online anywhere, suggesting an expensive, dealer-only part.

Any advice would be appreciated!
