Cable coming off of positive side of battery...

What purpose does this cable serve??? The one in my car was falling apart so I just cut it off and replaced it with one wire. Was this wrong to do? Because my car is having a bad time starting!!!

It leads to the ignition switch and a fusible link that powers the accesory circuit. As long as it was properly cut and spliced it shouldn't cause any problems.

If it comes off will it cause a problem?

I hate to say it Tim but you've asked so many questions here about your car that could have been easily answered by reading the FSM that it seems like you're beginning to lose the crowd's attention.

That could cause a problem even if it doesn't come off. That battery needs a proper hold-down before a disaster presents itself.
