I really appreciate youtube users and vid makers. I was able to fix my van without taking it to a shop. I had no power to my car at all, thought it might have been the starter, fusible link or a bad ground wire. The problem was a bad connection between the battery to the starter. we had to take the wires off the terminals and got the corrosion off and tighten them back up. This saved me a lot of money because I was about to tow my car to a shop. This vid really pointed me in the right direction to what the real problem was. Thanks again.

Thank you for your videos. Yesterday I had a had a no crank no start and all I heard was a single loud click from under the hood then all the power went out on the car. I used your videos to check the relays, fuses , test the battery and charging system and then did a voltage drop test. Turned out to be the cable that ran from the fuse box under the hood to the positive terminal of the battery (it was really rusted) . I had some room on the wire so I just cut off the corroded part and stripped it, cleaned the terminals and wires all up and it started just fine. So far so good. 02 Chevrolet Cavalier LS sport 2.2l DOHC

I typically avoid using those crimp-style terminals - the ones that just smash the wire between the terminal. The invite corrosion and can pull out over time. I typically use the moulded type of connector. Those are the ones that look like ring terminal connectors. You actually insert the wire in and crimp the entire end down, this seals the wire from corrosion. That black wire coming off the other side of the positive terminal is a fine example.
@AreThereNoMoreNames12 жыл бұрын
One way to make those terminals work, at least a little bit, is to strip off some wire until it's clean, then solder the strands together. They'll act like a big lug, and they'll last longer with those stupid terminals. Coating them in dielectric grease ought to help after that.

Thanks for the great procedure! It turns out my 20yr old car had the grounding stud painted over in the trunk by the factory guys. Seems the manufacturer had the intention of the nut shielding the stud from paint. Mine wasn't tightened down, so there was overspray on the backside of the nut, and the face of the body where the strap should clamp and make contact.... If it weren't for metalflake there may never have been any connection to ground! 5 minutes with the dremel and a brush bit, and this car is cranking faster than it ever has! From no crank, no click, to super-crank! As you showed I set my multimeter to mV and traced the +'ve and -'ve battery connections outward. With the car in "run", headlights on w/o the engine running the drop from terminal to clamp was 14mV, another 14mV to the body, and I quickly saw my issue.

@flinch6223 жыл бұрын
Don't know what he would say but... use what fits! [top or side post] Positive and negative terminals [top post] are different diameters - don't smash and bash the wrong ones onto your battery. There are three basic variants. What we see in this video is an all purpose open clamp, which is a handy spare to have on hand around a farm or BFE, but... as you see, corrosion sets in quite easily. The second is a factory molded piece that can't be done at home - I like these for the most part. They usually come with a main lead, and one or more auxiliary wires destined for non-starter loads. The third is kind of like the first, but has a single threaded post on top which requires ring terminal lugs be crimped onto wires first - these are nice if you have a complex setup [like 4 wires on each post or some such]. Regarding the factory molded type, use the same wire size car mfr did, or one size larger if availability is a problem. Generally, I find most gasoline engines are served by 4 awg reasonably well, but not all starter motors are a direct 1:1 ratio. If it's geared down [say 4:1 or some such], smaller HP motors can be used and that's a different ballgame regarding feed wire size.

14.4 is the normal limit but you're not gonna cause any damage until about 15.5 volts, but that rarely happens, when alternator fail it's mostly gonna under-volt, not over-volt. Between 13.8 and 14.4 is ideal and tells you that the alternator is in good working condition.

Thank you for you great videos! I hope the notes I took help me figure out what's going on w/ my car. I took it to O'Rielys and their checker said it was a bad connection... I also took the alternator out and took it there to be tested and they said it was bad. A while back I accidently punctured my power steering pump resivoir which is right above my alternator. With all that fluid leaking down onto the alternator over time, do you think that could be what is causing it to go bad (this is the second time I've had to replace it in like a 2 year period, granted I got a used one as replacement last time, not new)... anyways I am going now to check my connections since that's what they said the problem was and here in the video you show me how to do that so THANKS.

Eric, I put the key in with a two week old autozone battery and as soon as I turned it, (1) The dashboard lights which WERE really brightS, then kinda fade off and then no lights and then won't start not even a click. I remember 10 YRS ago with a different vehicle, per your "LESSON" of your video, CHECK the CONNECTION FIRST!, So I know 2weeks ago along with the new battery, autozone-guy suggested to change the POSITIVE terminal. So I went with it, I asked him, "How about the NEGATIVE?, I thought, here we are doing it, $4 to 10 bucks, WHY NOT?" So he says something like, "Still looks OK still has 3 years or so" So..we did NOT replace it. So today it happened as my first 2 statements above. Since 10 years ago something like this happened, I decided to get my little hammer and banged it/NEGATIVE terminal and even cursed at it, "Work, you S.O.B.!" LOL. So I am not expecting much,,,,but hey I put that thinking and effort, might as well put the key back in and turn it again. It went "Vrooomm!!" So obviously NOT ( 1)THE BATTERY NOR (2) THE STARTER, (3) NOR THE ALTERNATOR, BUT DEFINITELY the OLD, UNREPLACED, UNCLEANED NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL!! FOR I BANGED IT WITH A LITTLE HAMMER AND IT WENT VROOM! SO after almost 30 minutes on idle ,,,,I turned it off. Locking the Sienna Van, walking away,,,,I said to myself, "Wonder IF it will NOT START, again. So I got in the van and put the ignition, and I saw the lights very bright on the dashboard, as I turned, it dissapeared again and it WONT even click. DEAD as a door knob. So I called Autozone and tell them what is going on and agreed IF I GET IT GOING tommorrow morning..01-08-2021, I will drive to their store and this time to REPLACE THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL AND MIGHT AS WELL CLEAN IT LIKE YOUR TOOL IN THIS VIDEO. BTW,,,THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL IS AS TIGHT AS IT CAN BE. I THINK THE METAL IS OLD AND IT HAS A BIT OF CORROSION BUT NOT A LOT. BUT I KNOW ITS GOTTA TO BE IT. I Hope you agree with me and any tips would be very much APPRECIATED by me and my wife(her van) before I hammer the negative terminal and drive the Sienna Van to Autozone Sincerely thanking you Eric for your precious time, Mike

Sounded a little to me like the new (or rebuilt) starter might have an overrunning clutch issue (and/or a drive or ring gear issue). Overrunning clutches aren't routinely replaced by rebuilders as they're big $. They can, and often do act up intermittently in their early failure stages. Modern overrunning clutches are much better than days of yore, but a dunk in solvent can still kill one. Did I also hear the alternator belt squeal after one of the starts? As in a loose or bad 'v' belt?

Plus it looks old. I assume it was a shore car as there is some corrosion. Other than that, and the muffler that I need to tighten, it runs well.

Hi Eric; One of the reasons why the wires are discoloured/burnt is heat. The voltage drop you're finding causes the same power drawn by the starter to require a higher current. Bad connections also increase the resistance to the passage of current and therefore contribute to increased losses of power to heat. Heat generated in wires is mainly a function of current flow and resistance (the Joule effect). Also, a voltmeter with a MAX HOLD function is great for that voltage drop test :) Cheers!
