Subject: engine wiring anomalies (c900)


While conducting a routine oil change this afternoon, I noticed a couple of strange things with the wiring on the intake side of the engine. First, the main cable from the battery's (+) terminal has a serious insulation problem near where it connects to the starter. It looks like the insulation is cracked and possibly a little burned and/or melted. The insulation on the neighboring wire looks a bit damaged as well.

It looks like a ground wire for something, but I don't know what. Photograph here: http://home.ccil.org/~rotten/DSCF0131.JPG Opinions on these issues welcome. I'm especially wondering about the battery cable, as I certainly don't want the broken insulation to spread down the wire and short the battery. The car (a 1992 900 NA) is running very well, FWIW. Thanks, John
