Positive Battery Terminal

[pfryday]

While hooking up a power wire for some trailer lights to the distribution bar on the positive battery terminal, I over torqued the nut on the post (third post from the fuse) and it broke off. I called my local Ford dealership and was told the positive terminal for the batter is on back order and they have no idea when that will end. My question for this group is if it would be okay to simply move existing wiring from the third post to the fourth post (since there is nothing on the 4th post)? Thanks in advance.

Yep it’s all getting the same 12V.. that said IIRC I believe one or two of those studs are slightly smaller in diameter than the other two.. maybe match the one you’re pulling stuff off of? Can’t imagine it making a big difference though

That is what I was thinking. Thanks for the reply.

You'll be fine moving it.

Sounds like you could drill it out and put a bolt in it.
Remove before drilling

I switched the post and everything seems to be working fine (I did have to modify the connection ring a little has it has a small piece that juts off the side - I just bent it up so it would fit). Thanks for ya'lls help.
