my engine bay doesnt really have enough space for some reason even though i have a stock(ish) 5s. so im looking to relocate my battery to the trunk.
two things...the previous owner(s) really kept effin the terminals so the wire which connects to my positive terminal, is really short so thats causing my battery be closer to the engine and hence taking more space. so either i relocate my battery or just extend those wires. so the question is: 1. how to relocate a battery for a noob? 2. how to extend those wires without buying a new harness? i would obviously choose the easier/cheaper option so please help. thank you in advance -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

In both of my battery relocations, I just ran some 4 gauge wire to the trunk for the positive lead and hooked it up to the positive cable in the engine bay. Then I grounded the battery to the chassis and added an extra ground between the factory ground spot on the tranny and the chassis. Works like a charm. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
