Hey everyone, I bought a new junction block to replace the existing because the existing quit conducting 12V from post to post.

The new one from LMC is all plastic with no metal connecting the 2 studs where I mount the 12V+ power source which sends power to everything inside the cab. I have two questions:
1) these two posts should normally ohm out to zero ohms right?
2) Do I really need this junction? I by pass it and the truck fires normally and runs without issue.

appreciate any suggestions

Thanks!

LMC must be shopping at Temu now….
Seems virtually impossible what you said but you checked continuity on it.
But it’s just a junction block. A convenient place to terminate connections. You can use any j block or bolt the 2 eyelets together and wrap in duct tape. Will function the same.

There should be a metallic jumper between the posts.

I appreciate the responses and I am a bit skeptical in regard to my actual "need" for this junction block. The 12V+ source for this junction block comes from the starter where it is co-mounted with the 12V+ from the battery through another junction block. I am thinking to just eliminate this junction, and directly wire it to the junction block approximately 1 foot away!
