I'm assuming it's a ground wire to something? A couple days ago I made a rookie mistake and was connecting something to the battery without the negative terminal disconnected, and as I was tightening up the positive side, the wrench touched this wire and made a big spark and then I realized it burned through a portion of the wire (as pictured). Ever since, my subs have been fading in and out, my door locks are acting up when I use my key to unlock it, and the jeep has a slight maybe half second lag turning on when you turn the key to start it. This all started happening the day of the incident. So I'm assuming this is a ground wire. My question is...can I drive with the wire like this without messing something up until I can get it fixed? I'm planning on going by the stealership today to get it checked out. And could it have done any permanent damage or are these symptoms just happening because of the lack of ground connection? I'm really afraid I could have shorted something out in the electrical system. Is that possible? Any help would be appreciated.
