Battery help
Can someone please post a pic of the battery in the trunk. I was giving my car a once over to make sure everythings ok before I auto-x Sunday and noticed my battery wasn't hooked up right and I don't remember how it goes. Before I get flamed, the car was in storage all winter and I just took it out a few weeks ago and found some animal thought my wiring harness looked tasty and ate a bunch of it. I had my car towed to the dealer to get fixed. I told them the battery was not hooked up and asked them to do it. The positive and negative cables are hooked to te battery. There is a 3rd cable that I have no clue what it attaches to. I'm guessing it is another ground but I'm not sure. I can't take pics at the moment and am typing this from my phone. The car runs fine, but that 3rd cable has to be there for a reason. Thanks.

Thanks, for the life of me I couldn't remember where it goes. The dealer is useless. They just left the cord in my trunk and didn't even strap down he battery when they put it back in. I heard **** bouncing around back there, but just figured it was random stuff in my trunk.
Nevermind. I think the factory maybe left an extra ground cable in there. Upon further inspection it is exactly the same as the negative cable. The part number is one digit off though. The cable that is attached to the battery is # 15789488, and the extra one is # 15789487.

No, it looks like it's just an extra neg battery cable. If you look closely a the second pic posted you can just make out the part number on the ground cable and it is the same as the cable that is loose in my trunk. The cable that is hooked up in mine is one part number higher. The ventaltion tube is hooked up in mine.
