If you don't wanna grease it up, flush it with hot water when the powder comes back. Don't bother with baking soda or spray on battery terminal cleaner, that stuff just makes a mess.Tech wrote:you dont need to replace if nothing is wrong. If the blue fuzz ate it up, you can replace just the terminal clamp end. Unbolt the 12mm under the cap, I think it's like $10 with a new nut. Use dielectric grease to prevent the issue again.
Agreed. The baking soda method is the lazy man method that only covers the problem, not fix it.Npath wrote:If you don't wanna grease it up, flush it with hot water when the powder comes back.

I replaced my positive last weekend. I bought one from Autozone; they came in a packet of two..they are labeled as marine terminals and come with a wingnut, but I used the nut off the second one. I had to drill out the opening on the cable end a bit, but it works fine.mc01ta wrote:Been doing lots of maintenance last few days and probably replacing the battery on my 07' as it still on oem battery. I popped open my hood and saw a strange setup for the battery I'm not used to. There is multiple fuses at the post and the terminal doesn't look like a traditional post I've seen on every car I've owned. I am the original owner and this is a 2007 pathfinder.
Those of you who have replaced your positive battery terminal what did you go with? Anything special I should know with putting a new one in? Stupid question but these non-american cars seem to UBS everything in different places I'm used to seeing in an engine bay along with interesting features such ad multiple fuses at a battery
