Hello,
For some reason the negative terminal battery cable connector will not stay on and keeps popping off. Yesterday I just bumped the cable with my arm and that was enough for the cable to come off. The bolt is as tight as I can get it and the connector looks as closed as it can go. I have some dielectric grease on both the terminal and connector to keep to corrosion down, but I have always done this on every battery I have ever had and it has never caused an issue.
The battery is fairly new, so the terminal should not be worn down or anything like that.
Are there any suggestions on what to do? The connector doesn't seem to be easily replaceable like some I have had before.
