Problem overview

Some Ford Fusion owners report experiencing low battery issues due to corrosion on the battery positive cable. These problems can arise when the terminal needs replacement, and if the grounded battery cable is not disconnected first, it may lead to further complications. Additionally, some owners find that removing the old terminal requires cutting or sawing close to the cable's terminal, which can be challenging. Proper installation of the new cable is crucial, as it involves using heat shrink tubing—red for positive and black for negative—and ensuring the compression nut is correctly positioned. Following these steps is essential for effectively addressing the corrosion issues and restoring proper battery functionality.
