### Condition

Some customers may comment on an intermittent no crank, no start condition.

### Cause

This condition may be due to poor battery cable connections. Cross-threaded/stripped battery cable bolts inside the battery side post terminals may cause poor battery cable connections.

### Correction

To avoid replacing the battery , do the following steps:

• | Clean the threads in the battery side post terminals using a 3/8" (#16) NC bottom tap.

• | Replace the battery cable bolt.

The battery cable bolt is serviced separately from the cable and is available from your Parts Department. Be sure to use the correct bolt.
