When repairing electrical equipment on a car, remove the negative lead from the battery to avoid a short circuit. But on some cars (Lada Kalina, Grant) it is impossible to remove it far.
In such cases, I put a piece of rubber hose of a suitable diameter on the battery terminal, eliminating the possibility of an “independent” short circuit of the wire.

By the way: when the battery has served its term, it will remain only to replace it – it will not work to extend its life. But if there are power losses due to bad wiring, it is really possible to fix it by stripping all the contacts even if they seem to be working properly. Or by “throwing” a backup wire from the negative terminal of the battery to a bolt that has been cleaned of corrosion on the engine or gearbox, closer to the starter.
