Need nut sizes for wires (Page 1/1)
Carlin SEP 05, 08:44 PM


So this spot is right of the battery. there are some wires on it but i need the nut sizes. 1 stud is bigger then the other for some reason. I need 2 different nut sizes for both studs. Ill go to NAPA tommower once i get the sizes

also what is the screw size for that hole on the right. its missing. theres only one screw holding it on.

That's called the power distribution block. The nut is usually a 10mm nut, but I forget what the thread size is for them... they are both metric and fine thread if I remember correctly. I don't have an easy way to check it. I have new nuts for them, but usually I just pull a nut out of a bucket of screws, test fit it until I find one that fits, and then I bring that nasty one into the parts store to find a new replacement.

It looks like you have mud dobbers back there...

The large nut is 10mm but the smaller one i haven't been able to figure out. I just take out my big jar of nuts and keep trying to find one that fits. It might be a 10/32 size/

Just take the power distribution block with you, it's only held on with one screw.

don't know why I didn't think of that. Ill do that tommower. btw is it suppose to have 1 screw. mine has 1 but does it need 2 since there is a second hole.

I think they all only had 1 screw in them, 7 mm head, I have no idea what tread pitch they are, Like Dennis above said, they could very well likely be an ISO tread. its simple to take out and take with you

Guys. The car turned on yessss. Not the engine though because its not hooked up properly. I first noticed cause the jump starter was loosing power. Then out of no where the hazards turned on. I got them stuck yesterday so the hazards just stay on. We had to shut it off cause the steering column was getting hot. idk what is causing that. If you know let me know. Also the nuts I asked for are not metric and are not fine threads. We went to ACE and none of them fit. Its standard size. I do have one question as well. Where is the button for the window. The first thing I tried doing was rolling up my window just to find out the button isn't on the door.

btw yes I did copy and paste this because I put it in the wrong thread by accident last night.
