Those are many steel bands woven together... so what did you do to them?

Call junkyards or parts stores.

Thatpretty much never happens. Never heard of it at all, actually. The only thing I can think of is something very corossive like engine degreaser got on it and wasnt rinsed. Even that is a stretch. I can get it from the dealer for you, but it honestly wouldnt turn out to be a great deal, ya know, just because of all the emotional stress youve put me andeveryone elsethrough for the duration of your previous membership here [8D] Id have to tack on an extra $50 just for that [:'(]

jk...........[:-]

that is a strech. Could of been moved and started to rub against something until it frayed and then finally snapped (like some of us in these threads)

That actually doesnt sound to bad. onepoint8tee is in Columbus, so if you kiss his hiny he may help you out. Would take all of next day to ship. You can also call autozone/nation and see what they can do.

Ill check what the price is with my discount at work if you want me to. But its probably not something we keep in stock, so it'd probably be 5 or so days for you to get itworst case if you can wait that long. Id imagine I could get the cable for $30ish, but Im not sure.
