With most new cars having the battery in trunk, what's that safety mechanism.
What happens if they cables hold up, battery explodes?
I just drove the car and when I parked it all power went out and I tested for + at the switch panel and a ground with a test light so I made a new ground for the switches and it smoked the 02 power wire like a wick on a firecracker so I undo the ground and go to the battery and find the chassis ground cable barely hanging on the the connector at the post.This could have been really bad and the weak link was the connector.I do have a 200 amp breaker to the switch panel .I believe the broblem is in the starter wire or the switch breaker would have went. I have a volt meter and there was no drop in voltage I could see.
