    Noticed my cables were a little corroded, fighting P0171 code so I am going to change them.

    Best place to obtain them ? Anything unique about them or will just generic cables work ?

    dealer cables will bolt right in.

    Anything else will have to be cut to fit.

    No idea on price.

    I've only priced out battery cables for half ton trucks though them.

    Typically 50-90 per cable.

    Strangely enough I have alot of experience in this..


    Go to a junkyard and find a rivi or bonn-evil. You can take the cables off one without much issue and they are a good upgrade over stock. 9/10 cars you find in the yard will have cables worth snagging.
