Battery terminals usually wear out rapidly when the car is not in use for long periods of time.Or if the car is older than 20 years... IP: Logged |

^ hahaha neither are my case. The battery spewed out a bunch of blue acid which lead to corrosion build up which expanded and broke the brass in the terminal that attaches the wires to the battery. I use that truck a lot, my job requires a lot of driving and is definitely not 20 years old.IP: Logged |

Ah ok, gotcha. Leaking battery will do that, haha! You're gonna replace the battery too, right?If the mechanic is sly enough, he'll let you use the same battery so it happens again. IP: Logged |
