I need to know how to find problem envolving battery. Their must be some electrical issue touching wires? I do know the cables are spliced together is this an ok way to wire battery cable to make it longer? I am guessing no. What troobleshoting tactics should I attempt. "I am a woman" if you didn't figure me out yet. I try to do as much for my ride as possible.
thank you,

Marla Jean:
The cable from the battery shouldn't be spliced together unless you mean you replaced the battery terminal that connects to the post. They make a replacement that in a manner of speaking splices the old wire to a new connector.

Is that what you mean? Also, can you explaine how you spliced them?
