'm sorry for opening a new thread AGAIN but I wanna be sure before I screw up. I need to replace one of the cable terminals (I guess) on one of the ammeter cables (I've had the infamous ammeter problem thingies, 65amp wiring/trouble shooting), so the insulator melted a bit. To replace the terminal, I need to know the AWG / mm2 stuff but I have absolutely no idea about wiring / electrical stuff.
I've just found out that the standard cable must be AWG 3 I guess...? So the outer cable diameter is 0.228in / 5.8mm which it actually is on my car. Now, does it matter what type of terminal I use or do I need a special AWG 3 terminal stuff or is it enough to get a terminal where the cable fits in? Do I need a special type of insulator? I mean the standart insulator is very thicc...
The easiest way is to mount it as it is but it won't work properly I guess..?
I just don't want to risk another electrical fire due to bad repairs...
