    As the title says, I need a replacement ground cable for the 12v battery on a 06. Its currently ghetto rigged and its led to intermittent electrical issues as the battery isn't properly grounded. I can't seem to find a JIS size ground cable or battery terminal anywhere, could somebody please point me to where I can find either the whole cable or a terminal?
    Thanks

    Surely this will be available at a dealer or possibly a wrecking yard

    Welcome to PriusChat!!

    Not sure how much of a gap you have, but for years I've used aluminum can 'tabs' as spacers/shims, just shape and insert, then torque.

    Thank you, I couldn't find the part number with any amount of googling or digging through toyota's part schematics.

    OR your common auto parts store.
    OR a "battery store".

    There ARE other ways to find parts other than an online search !!!! :)
