In-vehicle Battery Cable Repair

admin — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:18:54 +0000

This is an example of repairing a corroded car battery cable. In essence, you have to cut back enough cable to get past the corrosion and then put a new eyelet on the cable and crimp it until it is tight. This is a relatively simple fix and one that pretty much anyone should feel comfortable with attempting on their own. You should make sure that this is the actual problem though and not simply a dead battery before you start cutting wires. You don’t want to end up with a shortened cable and still unable to start the vehicle. It’s a good video that shows you how to get the job done with a simple kit that you can pick up at pretty much any auto parts store (look for a battery cable kit).
