On my 2002 Caravan and a friend's 1996 T&C, the lead battery cable clamps need replacing. The cables are too short to use an aftermarket clamp-on-wire type replacement battery clamp. It's ridiculous that on both of these vehicles, they didn't use cables that are an inch or two longer.
The service manual and the dealer states that in such cases the whole battery wiring harness needs to be replaced. I find it hard to believe that no service kits or work arounds are available.
As a worse case repair, I'll cut and splice the cable but wonder if there is a better procedure.
Anyone else run into this?
