Small Frame
Small wire to frame on Negative car battery cable wire is not connected to frame. Is this okay?
I installed a new car battery. The negative cable had the lead and one small wire running to a bolt on the frame. The eyelet to the small wire broke. I still hooked up the positve and negative to the battery terminal and everything is working. Is that small wire the battery ground wire? Is it safe to leave that small wire unconnected until I can get a new cable?
It provides a better ground to the frame, I take it the negative cable is bolted the the engine block which is bolted to the chassis. Basically it's redundant. Sort of makes up for the rubber motor mounts. If everything still works I wouldn't worry about it.
EDIT:To you nay sayers, my 1984 Toyota 4X4 pickup had a similar setup. When replacing the battery cables I chose to ground the negative cable to the engine block instead of the fender well as done originally.
It's still running 12 years later WITHOUT any problems. Wore out an engine, 5 clutches, 3 alternators and a ring and pinion set...but NEVER had any electrical problems beyond expected wear and tear.
