you can kind of see the socket in the pic of where it attaches. Hope this helps.

They are like 80 dollars a piece from the dealer. I would forget that and make your own out of heavier gauge wire. You can get all the wires, connectors, shrink wrap, everything at NAPA. Just go in and browse the catalog. They will even help you select all the stuff.

I don't think lowe's will have it. Any wire will do. Finer stranded wire will be easier to route and fit tighter radius. But will hold the same amount of current.

What are your plans? Are you getting a new battery?
