  • Car battery terminal shim used to repair loose connection on positive terminal. The loose battery connection caused problems with the battery, alternator, starting.
    disclaimer: I talk slow, especially as it gets colder from about September-April, so watch it at a faster speed if you're short on time.

    Best advice ever! I thought I was going to have to replace the entire connector. This solved the problem thank you so much

    Thankyou for making this video. My 2011 honda odyssey just had the same issue, $2 can for the shim from napa parts and a 5 minute fix.
    Thanks again 👍

    It’s DC voltage to the voltage rides around the outside perimeter so that thing Hass to be but tight on the perimeter you can’t just make a little mark connection it’s gotta be solid❤😊

    Thank you. Didn't know about the shims. The terminals are absolute garbage from honda. Was gonna stick a drill bit in there to get it snug.

      I tried copper (conductive) tape first, and made a shim pretty much...and ended up working on it on the side of the road just about. That's when I found a video that mentioned the shims

    Same problem with my terminal. I think this is why my battery died. Going to charge it and put shims on. Hopefully my alternator is still alive 🙏🏼

      Did it work for you? Or did you have to do the alternator too? A friend of mine had the same thing happening on their 2009 Odyssey, but the alternator had to be replaced too.

      @@ceezauto213 I think that by the time the problem starts acting up it's because the alternator is finally dying from the extra stress the poor terminal connection causes. The loose terminal is maybe one of those things Honda should do a Recall for.
