My positive battery cable is Rusted and I knew that. So stupid me thinking 12 to $15 for a replacement. 550 for part and two hours to replace and "no aftermarket part".
Thoughts on alternatives?
Why is it so high priced?You can always make up a cable from parts or simply splice in a new clamp or component. I just don't know who would do it for you if you couldn't do it yourself.
Part# 7L1Z-14300-AA fits a 2008 and it's discontinued. Probably fits other years too; I didn't check. It lists for $551, and you can buy it for $330 if you can find it.
You can always look for one in a junkyard, but I'd repair the existing one first. If you can't find someone to do it, check with an old school auto-electric shop that still rebuilds alternators and starters in-house. They'll know someone who'll fix the old one for a hundred bucks for sure.
Welcome here, by the way.
