Figure this out...


Im leavin the gas station today in Boston, take a right turn and the car bucks alittle, i think meh crappy shift, I drive about 10 more seconds and the car flat out dies, no power no nothing I muscle it into the parking lot and eventually have it towed home. Now batterys good, and starters pretty much new. I have a kill switch cause bateries in trunk and i thought maybe the switch broke, its good though. I traced the power (positive) cable under my trunk then seat to the starter relay thinking it gor severed in the left front fender wall. Turns out the guy before me that installed the 306 motor harnessed all the wires too low and when i turned right the tire (18s) cut clean through the cluster of grounds and scored the positive cable. Anyways tomm im gon pick up some wire and redo the connections to the relay. When i lok up the wiring diagram these 4 or 5 grounds are connected to alot of stuff, im no good with wiring so would this sever all power in the car? interupt the circuit? any help would be awesome, Im sure some of you guys know your wiring

if it is the ground then yes it can cut off alot of stuff, if it is the main ground then it will cut off everything. Best thing to do is extend the wires and relocate them to another place out of the way just make sure that it is bare metal.
