yaris voltage issue

[yaris2010RS]

Thanks scott,

Positive terminal on the battery was fine (brand new and tight) and also my ground on the engine (that i had tons of issues due to those not being tight) are good and tight.

I did also check the main power wire from the alt to the battery and found that had been left loose....tfrom the arking it melted the plasic clip cover to protect that connection and corroided the hell out out of the screw. I tried to tighten it but due to corroision it was hard to turn so to ensure i didnt break it. I will hit it with pb blaster when i get back from the holidays and try to loosen it off, clean it and tighten the heck out of it.

Would di-electric grease be okay to put on that connector

Dielectric grease won't hurt it.
