He did, but he may be mistaken. If that is the ground I'm thinking of, it goes straight up to the upper radiator support, driver side, right under the hood adjusting bumper.

I just jacked up my car, and looked. The large wires that hook to the one starter post, the terminals are bent just like in the pic. The terminal on the ground wire is flat, just like the "extra" wire in the pic.

I'd rather err on the side of caution, this could be very dangerous.

Like I said before, the wires that connect to that post, one is to the alternator, one is to the battery positive at the fuse block. And, of course, disconnect the NEGATIVE at the battery before wrenching on any of this.

Agree. Until he takes a VOM or test light and checks those wires, we just have to guess.

One question I have is why were the starter and alternator replaced ? Guessing and throwing parts at it ?

I've been wondering if it had the same problem before the new parts....

I read this whole thing and yes I agree.
Where is Naz ?
It does look like two wires go to the large post.
Good diagnoses on your part George.
