hi Gus_Boy,

Finally got under the car taking off the engine shield and scrapping off all the grunge and oil build up to hopefully fix and found a cable situation that I wouldn't bother trying to repair.

neg and pos battery cables fused together and plastic melted at first junction under passenger side of engine where the neg routes up to the engine ground.

I read that this is a common occurance for this model. I thought i read that there was a recall on that as well.

For all those out there thinking of getting new battery cables for the 88 gle 8 valve non turbo the replacement poitive cable should be 72 inches.

some sites showing 51 inches as replacement.
