Battery wire defective?
I just noticed this and started freaking out...
The battery has 2 big ground cables coming off the negative terminal..one to the frame next to it, and another to the engine block.
The one going to the engine block has about 3-4 inches of exposed wire before the bolt which is untwisted, rusting and frayed. Is this an "oops" by Acura, or is the rubber coating on the wire really supposed to stop that far away? Maybe to prevent it from melting from engine heat?
