Need help locating part

I was replacing the transmission filter on my 2000 TL and noticed that the wire leading to a bracket just above it was severed from its connector (see link). I've search high and low over the internet for the connector and can't locate one. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Something similar to this
Amazon.com: Arnold Battery Cable Set - 16-Inch: Patio, Lawn & Garden Amazon.com: Arnold Battery Cable Set - 16-Inch: Patio, Lawn & Garden

but not that one specifically because it's not meant for car applications (meant for garden lawn mowers and such)


look for a 4 gauge or thicker cable with crimp on connectors already attached to lessen the work on your end.

Are there any issues with your vehicle when that cable breaks?

Whenever there are any weird electrical problems, the #1 thing mechanics are taught is "check your grounds". A broken ground cable could cause almost limitless types of things to happen. Certain systems might not turn on or might not turn off or act in a strange way, etc.
