Well, I'm having the same problem as before...
Went to start the vehicle, turned the key and heard a click, but nothing more. The engine doesn't turn over, but the accessories work. Now I don't even hear a click. With the headlights on, when I turn the key to start, the lights turn off. Based on other posts, I heard that if that happens, it's probably the battery or wiring. I had the battery checked at Autozone and they said it's fine.
When I had the problem before, I had a lot of corrosion on the positive battery terminal. Cleaned both terminals and made sure the connections were good, also sprayed some anti-corrosion stuff on the terminals, and the vehicle started right up...worked fine for about 2 weeks.
When I tried to start the car today and it wouldn't start, I noticed the anti-corrosion spray on the positive terminal was bubbling for a few minutes.
Do you think I should replace the Positive and Negative terminals? The dealership says there is a positive wire from battery to starter relay and another from starter relay to starter...do both need to be replaced? they cost about $40.00 each.
