The negative (ground) battery cable in my 1988 FJ62 is close to death -
it's cracked and fraying where the cable and terminal meet. The
cable has two ground connections - one to the body, just a few inches
from the battery, and the other down underneath the engine
somewhere (I haven't chased that end down yet). Replacement
cables - including the one on the Toyota dealer's computer - show
only the single ground. So, finally, my question: do I need those
two grounds, or can I go with the single ground cable?
