Fuse box ground stud
2017 XLT. I was hard-wiring a dash cam today, and when I was tightening up the nut on the ground stud for the fuse block that is located on the passenger side kick panel, it snapped off. I barely tightened it up, but it appears to be aluminum so maybe I put too much torque on it. Does anyone know if the stud is a replaceable part? Has anyone else had this happen? The ground strap is not simply mounted flush to the chassis, it's a raised block-like area. Thanks
