I only suggested that maybe ChatGPT mixed them up, because ChatGPT was dead wrong calling it a ground plate, and those two pieces kinda look alike. But in reality I have no idea what ChatGPT is "thinking".


I hope the OP found the issue causing his battery terminal to glow red, but ChatGPT put him on the wrong trail .....
Yes, sometimes AI doesn't have so much of the "I".
