Positive Battery Terminal
Hey everybody....
SO the positive battery terminal (the one with the black fuse box) the connector to the battery completely corroded off...so now I have no leverage to take it off. I barely drive the car and live in Miami (no seasonal changes), so I did not even think of looking at the battery. I know it was not there the last time I changed the oil. But whatever...questions: Any ideas on how I might get this off now to replace? Next, how much do you think it will cost? Do I have to replace the whole black box or is it just the connector? Here are some pics on GDrive. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2P...ew?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2P...ew?usp=sharing Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks everyone |

With the corrosion I would definitely replace the whole black chunk. It runs about $25 from Toyota.

Uggh, I just found some corrosion on my car as well. Mine wasn't as bad as yours, but it looks like the previous owner tried to clean it up. Luckily I was able to clean it up with coke.
What's the black box for? Is there a fuse in there? |

Yes. There are two fusible links built into the black part.
