Welcome to NICO! I think we need you to better define 'the wire behind the ground' to help. Can you take a picture? Here is a link on how to post pics.

So you cut the terminal off, and now you're asking if you can just replace the whole wire with a new terminal and anchor it to the same spot as the old wire?

Yes, provided the gauge wire is thick enough.

As you already have a thread open for your battery issues, I've merged your new post with the original one. I've also moved it to the Z32 Technical forum to get input from other owners that may be able to help you.

Neg bat ground points are at the firewall and the top right transmission bolt.
