Has anyone done the negative battery cable themselves? I remember seeing a post about the recall where someone mentioned that the cable is cheap, but I can't find it.
A little back story; My wife took the car in for a CEL about a month ago. Ithad also been turning the radio on and off on occasion and this had gone from once a week to once a day. She told them to take care of that it was the first signs of the battery cable recall.
Got the car back a couple of days later, they wanted $900 for an O2 sensor and a NOX sensor and said there were no codes so no battery cable issues. I deleted the car but had an issue getting it started. Not sure what it was but it started after I checked the fuses and the relays.
Since then the car has been to Disney and back with no issues electrical or otherwise. Tonight I did the last of the 3 oil changes on the transmission. When I went to start it I got nothing. Rolled it off the ramps, turned everything off a tried again and I still got nothing, but I noticed when I was opening the fuse box up the negative cable is noticeably warm. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen something like this? The first thing I checked after the tune was that cable and it tested good, the battery is new.
I'm wondering if that's the issue or something else is causing the computer to not open the relay and start the car. It worked flawllessly the first week it was done and I had no issues going to Disney and back, not even one radio glitch.
