The wire just stops it from rubbing? Im going to take battery and cover all out till im left with the tray and have a proper look. Think i will need some wd40 on the bolts :grin:

Sorry the battery tray has a groove to stop the wire underneath from rubbing against the car as it is a live wire if it rubs it will short on the body and melt
