if the clamps are loose at all, the connection is not tight enough.not on the rug wrote:thanks for the replies guys. I know that the terminals are a little loose on the posts. not popping off loose, but definitely not super tight. the optima posts are thinner than the posts of the battery I replaced. maybe i'll change those out this afternoon. i'll have the battery checked today too. i'll check the fuse and connection too. thanks again
yeah, we pulled it off, made sure it was clean (it was) and put it back on. the negative one was clean too, just stretched out, so we replaced it. hopefully that is the fixcgray wrote:Take the positive clamp off the battery and check to make sure it has not corroded away. I had to replace my positive lead a year or so ago due to the same issues that you just described.
