battery cable issue

You can’t see in any of the pictures - are you certain the main battery line was cut? That would be … very very unusual

That would be … very very unusual

Not necessarily for a Copart vehicle, nothing would surprise me.

Copart is an online salvage auction company that buys insurance totals/ repairables/ used vehicles etc. and auctions them as is.

It’s very hard to see, but it is cut:

I bought a 2024 Bronco last month, and yesterday I got a “Charging System Service Now” message. After I opened the hood to check the battery, I found that the battery cable had been cut and the battery was connected with small wires, and those wires had melted. I was wondering if you have any idea how to fix it

Honestly looking at that, thise red wires aren't supposed to be there at all. Is this a 2.7? There should only be 2 big wires coming off the negative terminal plus the BMS wires. Like Ducati said it does appear the cable has been cut. That wire is part of a big harness. I would take it to an audio shop if you don't feel comfortable repairing that yourself.

Yikes.. that is the shadiest wiring I’ve ever seen

Me to. That thing needs parked, and take the battery out!

How does one buy a used vehicle without giving it a thorough once-over, bringing a mechanic friend to the purchase and-or taking it to a trusted mechanic for an inspection bwfore you sign on the dotted line?
I'm imagining if this shit-show is in plain sight, there is far worse stuff wrong with that vehicle.

Buying from Copart you're buying a salvaged vehicle. It's sold as is at auction. Most of the time you don't get to examine it first.

Gotcha. I guess that's the risk you run with salvaged vehicles
