Hi
My daughter and I took the stang down to the Smokey mountains last weekend. After stopping at dozens of overlooks on the Cherohala Skyway, tail of the dragon and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The mustang wouldn't start, we finally roll started it, (we were in the mountains always a down hill
Didn't have the correct battery, posts on wrong side ... tried to install but tore battery connector.
Another trip to Walmart for more tools... found a connector with 2 lugs on the end . Cut the cable, realized there is/was lots of corrosion in the wire. There were 2 wires hooked to it and connected them, after 2 hrs at the store we were done, and life was good again.
Couple questions...
Was that the orig connector... always seemed a little to large for the terminal??
Is the corission usually there after 20 years??
Do they make a replacement cables or should I make one??
Couple photos from the weekend
