Serious grid heater question!
While starting my truck for the first time after fixing kdp, replacing timing cover gasket ,crank seal, valve cover gaskets, and intake manifold gaskets, when I turned my key to wait to start my grid heater contacts sparked so I shut off the truck and made sure everything was alright. After deciding that everything is installed properly and should be working fine I tried a second time with no problems but as soon as my truck started one of the grid heater wires that goes to the positive on my battery popped and now is no longer a wire. What could have gone wrong, how can I fix this, and is it possible to get the new cables from the battery down?

Ya which is what I'm awfully confused about because everything is installed the way it was and everything looks good except a portion of this one wire to the battery that sparked and kinda just popped. Is there any chance it could be related to there being mouse **** on the wire? Lol

yes there definitely not backwards, i'm thinking it could be the grid heater studs that are loose but I dont know a way to get a hold of the nuts on the bottom to tighten the studs? And how should I go about replacing these cables? And call me stupid but I can't seem to even get my grid heater off of my truck I have all the bolts removed and it wont budge...
