Re: Battery Ground Cable Not Connected?!?

So I’ve looked everywhere I think the earth cable could connect to and the only obvious point is the clutch housing, but this may not be right. I’m reluctant to fix it there because the car works fine and fixing to the clutch may cause problems. If anyone is under their Qashqai this weekend I would ...

Re: Battery Ground Cable Not Connected?!?

The electric shock is a small issue for me at the moment, doesn't happen all the time too.

I would prefer to reattach the cable to its original location but cannot see where it should go...

Re: Battery Ground Cable Not Connected?!?

So I checked under the battery tray and cannot see anywhere to fix the cable. On further inspection the cable is held with plastic clips down past the battery tray. There are a couple of bolts is the area the cable hangs to which could be loosened and hold a ring connector, but i'm not sure what the...

Re: Battery Ground Cable Not Connected?!?

Under the battery tray, good call - I’ll check there tomorrow. Looked everywhere around where the cable hangs to, but i suppose it could of fallen down.

If anyone does have the j10 model and knows if it is under the battery tray or elsewhere, feel free to chime in :-)

Re: Battery Ground Cable Not Connected?!?

That’s the question, where does it fix to? I cannot see any clear fixing points. Do you have a photo? Also, do I need to replace this cable with something like the below or can I just fix a new ring connector; http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/garage-equipment/battery-chargers-jump-starters/hal...

Re: Battery Ground Cable Not Connected?!?

Thanks for your reply. I'm keen to fix this wire because I keep receiving electric shocks from the car when getting out after driving (I'm hoping this may fix this problem), plus also I had another smaller earth wire melt because a different earth wire wasn't connected. For reference this is what th...

Battery Ground Cable Not Connected?!?

Hi, I've noticed the black and yellow cable from the negative battery terminal is not connected to anything and any connection which was on the end of the cable has burnt off. Is it better to replace the cable or just fix a new ring connector to the existing cable? Also, does anyone have a photo or ...
