[QUOTE="SwollenRaccoon, post: 1439871, member: 19178"] I had issues somewhat like that two years ago. Just for laughs, take the battery terminal screws completely out. Once you have them in your hand, thread the nuts onto the screws, and make sure they go all the way up to the head of the screw. The threads on mine were corroded near the top, and wouldn't clamp the terminals tight enough to have good consistent contact. They FEEL like they're tight when installed, but they are not. I hope the problem you have is that simple. Pretty easy to check. [/QUOTE]
