Battery Cable Fix
Cheap$200Jeep
November 13, 2009
Description:
The Previous Owner was nice enough to install an Optima Battery and put new cable ends on before giving up and selling the Jeep to me but I wasnt happy with the quality of work this guy did As you can see, he used the temporary repair type ends and didnt pay much attention to grooming the cable ends.
I bought a set of good cable ends from Napa, Cut the cables back until I didnt find corrosion (4 on one of them) and then put it back together.
Funny thing that I was not expecting, The new ends trimmed 2-6 seconds off the time it takes to lower/raise my windows and cured all my locks except one of taking three or four attempts to lock/unlock. The one remaining has a linkage problem to be fixed latter.
