Need help identifying a replacement part/wire

[ColoGladiator]

Hi community, I discovered I had a pesky rodent living and "chewing" next to my battery, he got about 1/2 through my body ground wire. I haven't had the time to trace this wires path, nor, can I identify a part number on the cable. I was hoping someone would have knowable of this cable, and can offer a Mopar part number for its replacement and possible offer experience with the job. Thank for your time! Brian

It looks like theres a little slack in the wire. Perhaps you could cut out the chewed portion and re attach the wiring. May save you a bit of time messing with tracing the cable

What year, model, options, and automatic or stick.
Trying to find what ground that is until I'm able to look at mine.

OK this is a 21 gladiator rubicon 3.6 auto, originally did not have the bed outlet but i added it... nothing put in that area thought. I have tried to trace it and i fell its going to the negative lead on the battery.

It does look like the battery ground.

8 Minutes and 35 seconds into this video he confirms it's the body ground to battery and the 2nd one is the body ground to engine block ground.

If your able to remove it after unwrapping the harness and measure the length you may be able to get a replacement at a local auto parts store or Rock Auto. The dealer may try to sell you an entire harness. $$$

thanks you so much for you help... the parts guy did indicate there is only a whole harness not a negative ground lead.

Buy some 0/2 gauge wire and a couple terminals off Amazon and make your own cable. Cheaper than anything else you’ll find.
