Q: car wont crank after i replaced the battery terminal harness
Vehicle will crank but will not start. Checked battery and its charged Just changed the battery terminal harness(was told that was the original issue, but it was not.) Car originally from NC and drove up to live in NY since December(so cars first snowy snowy winter) There was corrosion on battery and small terminal piece (cleaned battery/terminal off completely and still has charge) Husband drives as a daily about 10 miles a day total on average. Was pulling into driveway after a normal day and the car didn't make it into the garage, the car just shut off once it was in the drive way.
