Very helpful video. I have a 2012 Altima with the same positive terminal set-up. It's just ridiculous the way they manufacture things these days. I still have the factory battery as of 10/31/19 and it's still cranking like a champ. The whole starting issue was with that stupid positive terminal set-up.

[@z66ka]

I think the only reason they will do it, it makes them easy money. Man you got the good battery out of the bunch. Man, its what took down my mom's Infiniti. Be sure to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon.

[@jaysworld5378]

Wish I had come across this before. Our 2010 Cube had intermittent start issues. I replaced the battery (there was major corrosion going on). Still had start issues. Had the electrical system checked twice by 2 different places and they stated everything looked good. Finally, had it checked by Nissan and they stated it was the starter. Had that replaced (Ouch!) and still have starting issues. Now I have come to realize it looks to be the positive cable that is bad, pretty confident about that. I think I will need to replace that as in this video. I will do it myself. Thanks for doing this video.

[@z66ka]

Had a coworker with 2007 Nissan van, doors would respond to the clicker, they thought bad module. I said lets replace the connector, boom fixed the issue. Replace it and see what happens.

Goodness gracious for the love of Pete you really need to do two things: you need to Chuck those vice grips for loosening that nut on top of the positive cable clamp assembly. You need to use the fly scripts to hold the clamp assembly while you loosen that top nut with an 11 mm socket and ratchet wrench. Oh and you some WD-40 to loosen the grime it'll make that job a whole lot easier.

[@guamistheplace]

Your video help me the most... it was exactly what I was going thru🤦‍♂️..I actually felt like it was going to be another costly robbing experience to get that positive terminal replaced let alone Fixed by a mechanic.

Gavin Boothe well, first off. I would try using a cleaner on the cable first to see if that would help. You can replace the cable, I imagine it’s hooked into the main wiring harness. Sounds like a pain to fix. Can you send me a photo of the cable?

[@DaDaddyJay]

Does the connector (wires) have labels on them on how to connect them ? I have the same issue (corroded and car won't start, just flicking sound and dashboard). Also, the last piece of the video, after you replaced the fuse, you still got the same clicking sound and you said it's the battery ? Does the battery need to be manually charged after ?

[@bassinbillRC5300]

That battery needs to be replaced it looks like it's toast! He even mentioned this original battery that came with the car!

[@blount_man]

Does this also work for a 2015 Sentra?

[@bootheoutlaw7596]

Will a bad one cause dash light flickering?

[@Tjk317]

So my link broke as your did and my car was dead. 07 Sentra. Replaced it, the terminal and got a new battery. The car started but then I had no power to any of my gauges in the cluster. No power to cluster as a whole. And now the car has died again and won’t start. Super weird! Any ideas?

Fusible link.

Hi my partners nissan micra has a fuse hole like this as I can see the 80a fuse link has broken on it if I order the correct part for her model is there Much risk of causing any problems by replacing this piece myself the cars pretty clean around the bolts etc and had a new battery few months ago so don't think any of it needs a clean just the strip is broken in the 80a

Looks about the same as my 2013 altima terminal. The terminals get so corroded it's a bitch to get it off without breaking the whole thing. Mins corroded on the side too.

AutoZone don't even have the proper terminal for positive side for 2014 Sentra SV now what do I do go to Nissan for the part ??

[@pumberger93]

Currently running into the same misfortune... how did you get the lead off the non battery side? I cant seem to get leverage onto the component

[@z66ka]

I am confused at what you are asking. Are you asking about the battery terminals, fuse block, the battery clamp or something else?

[@zaje2378]

I have a 2016 Altima. Changed the alt and battery and got I-key system error, my terminal fuse connector is sparking bad and charring when I connect power to it. The fuse is blown on the terminal and this is causing me so much headache

[@z66ka]

I would suggest having a tech look it, might be other issues going on.

[@ericswallick7770]

The corrosion on the nut will not release before the plastic housing snaps. You WD40 all you want , equals zero movement. The real challenge is getting harness off.

[@sergioarizpe9407]

Do you have a link to the "fusible link" amazon is not pulling it up for me

[@z66ka]

Sorry for the late reply, I do not. My parts were purchased at the dealer.

[@nativedude264]

Is there a way to take off that bolt he was trying to take off?

[@z66ka]

Most of the time, it is basically welded on there. I could have probably got it off, but I figured I would break the plastic if I tried.

[@jessicaRATHERNOT]

So let me get this right you can’t use no different terminal but the one it originally comes with correct? Please my terminal broke my car stopped turning on so I’m buying the terminal from Nissan and putting it on my car hopefully it turns on if not I’ll need the fuse box also but at this moment I don’t think my fuse box got damaged By the way I have a Nissan Sentra 2011
