I know this should be in PARF, but ....
 

Tiny nut on that post tightener, strips out all too easily.

The nut shoulders are already rounded.

I'll try to be positive, but it's not easy with such poor engineering.

At least the stereo or alarm is properly wired.

That's a negative positive post.

PARF, where deplorables go to become despicables.

Making a post trashing other people.

Who is the toxic one?

This environment is very acidic!

Acidic. Get the pun but yeah. For years I lobbied for a 1 strike and you are out super-PARF where truly intelligent discussion with some of our great minds could share in an interesting and informative debate. Everyone else can play in PARF.

I completely understand why it never happened but it's nice to dream.

You could always start a website Shaun

Don't let Jack Olsen see this thread, he will have a polarizing difference in opinion

Too many projects as it is. I just want to see what people like MRM and others have to say about current topics and join in the discussion. There are a lot of very smart folks here with a vast library of experiences. It's a shame we don't get to interact on that level.

you need to clean up your post!

I'm amped up..

Me, I'm shorted out.

Deus volt.

You say Tesla.
I say Edison.
Let's call the whole thing off....

I see corrosive potential

A few bright sparks around here.

That battery has a terminal problem.

I'm a-frayed of that picture

I'm shocked at the responses in this thread, so bad it hz.

Terminal.

I wasn't going to post about this post post but then everyone else had to post their own post posts. So it is a little later than the rest making it my post post post post.

Sorry to have brought up such a highly charged issue.

I am loving all the puns, this post is electric!

It might even be a Direct Connection

Hope it doesn’t meet with too much resistance?

I could go on but I’m drained

must have used a stripper to make ends meet......

Ohm my God! 28 responses, I had no idea this post would generate so much interest!

Are you suggesting the negativity is by design?

You guys are really punny.

Shocking really; that a battery thread could spark up so much interest, but thinking about it, it is a current topic for all of us.

Punny, how a simple post can lead to a charge of positivity.
This has the potential to spark into a flame.

Polarizing thread with no neutral ground? PARFy enough for me :)

What really blows my fuse is thinking about how so many otherwise competent mechanics fail to make the connection between good wiring and vehicle reliability. I see a direct link between the poorly wired primary wire in that photo and bad wiring I have seen in other cars over the years. It seems impossible, but it but it really isn't that hard to lump them all together if you have a good grounding in basic electrical principals.

It's a hot topic though, and sure to bring about much resistance. People are very sensitive about their wiring ability, but it really makes a lot of sense when you get into the flow. Of course you may have an alternate theory, but I prefer to keep it direct.

That's amateurish wiring, not done in a professional garage, probably done at Ohm.
