Man I am so happy I found this video. Today was a disaster with my car not starting due to the battery covering on the negative cable. The funniest thing is I was going to order new coverings and thanks to you I changed my mind. Tomorrow I'm going to take the cover off and see if starting the car returns to being normal and report back to this thread.
If that was the problem how did it work fine for so many years? Just curious. I just serviced my plastic battery terminal hoods with dielectric grease and a wire brush clean them up nicely but they were corroded quite badly. Put new terminal bolts on both sides too
Wow I've been stuck in a Walmart parking lot for a week now wondering what could be the problem I was about to pay for a diagnostic test and check all the fuses and relays. I'm going to remove them tomorrow.
I was wondering if I should cut them off. There you have it, OFF THEY SHALL GO!
