Default Reinstalling Battery Tie Down?

I had no freaking idea where to post this so I decided here, but NE WAYS, does anyone have any idea where the little hooks go for the battery tie down??? I recently had to take out my battery to replace and I have no idea how to re-install the stock tie-down, any help would be great, thanks!!!

You don't need pictures. There are holes it he bottom of the battery tray that they hooks of the rails go into. Get a flashlight. You'll see them. And nice 7 year post bump by the way. Not sure if I've personally seen one that huge.

Just to make it clear, I think you should get kudos on the post bump if, as in this case, it happens naturally. No fair purposely trying to find a really old post to bump just for the recognition. I too am impressed with seven years. Kind of speaks to the potential importance of all our posts.

My battery light has been mostly in for the last two weeks. Once in a while it goes off for a few minutes. I charge the battery at night.

The alternator is fine, battery is fine. No oxidation on terminals, AGM battery. Can a bad ground connection under the battery tray be the reason?

You should see near 14V at the battery posts when idling and definitely that much when you goose the rpm a bit. Any less is a bad alt.
A corroded ground cable can cause problems so it's worth a look
