Unable to Tighten GM Side Mount Battery Terminal
The car is a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass with the 3.4L DOHC engine. The
negative battery cable terminal will not get very tight when attached to the battery. I can snug it up to where it just begins to get tight, but that is as much as I can get out of it. It feels as though there is not enough depth to the terminal threads going in to the battery. The other terminal tightens up normally and has no problems. The threads in the battery are fine. I have tried other batteries and have the same problem with the negative battery terminal.. Has anyone else ran across this issue before, and if so how did you fix the problem?. I am planning on replacing the whole cable, but would like to know if there is anything else I should try first. Thanks in advance for your help.
