Ditto that 'First place to start' idea.

I wanted to get replacement cables for my Hodge Podge Dodge truck,
and seeing as I was trying to save $$ for the resto project (eternally 
under way it seems) I didn't want to pay dealer $$ for both cables.
That might have been a mistake, because, all the after market cables I 
found in this area that had respectable battery clamps were of a smaller 
gauge then I expected. It took months of casual searching hither thither 
an yon before I was able to put together a 'set' of cables that had met 
my requirements, good wire gauge, proper terminals, good solid battery 
clamps, and under the $$ threshold I wanted to earmark for this effort.

So, you might have been a victim of an earlier replacement situation 
that also didn't end up being the right gauge wire, (or that dreaded 
'Murphy's Law' unsatisfactory clamp connections ??
