Truck wouldn’t start, starter and alternator recently replaced. Battery about a year and a half old.
Went to jump it, no luck. Then connected negative terminal to the body ground and it started. Is there something wrong with the ground wire connection pictured here? There is one wire coming off the radiator it looks like to the frame then the negative wire ground sits on top of that bolt.
New to this so unsure if that was someone’s poor judgement
I took the bolt off that seperated the two wires and put the terminal ground directly on the body under the other wire. Didn’t seem to help. Could it be the battery negative terminal is already bad?
Thanks in advance
