Battery terminal acid damage
Hey guys, you guys helped me with my battery problem not too long ago which I believe I took too long to acknowledge and have suffered the consequences (tons of corrosion). Basically, my car won't start now and I'm sure it's because of these rusted terminals on my cars batteries which is shown in the first picture. The battery was tested and it is in good shape.
The second picture is just a different angle, you can see the cable or whatever it's called connecting to the terminals looks like it's in pretty bad shape because of some corrosion so it probably needs to be replaced too. http://i.imgur.com/x1ByBr0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ffXm7Uo.jpg Anyways, what do you guys think would be the best route to approach with this? Should I just get oem parts from Toyota and have them installed at Toyota/local auto shop or should I just go to Autozone or something and have them order/install it? And what are the part numbers if I go the oem route? I can't do it myself sadly, I don't really have the proper tools. Thanks for any help I can get guys, this has been a huge pain, I've gotten 5 jumps in the last 2 days haha. |

From the picture it looks like the positive battery terminal fuse block assembly (that black plastic area) should be replaced and possibly the cable that connects before the block. There are also two large connectors under the bottom of the back of the black block that may be corroded as well. The parts, and potentially cables, needed are all Toyota specific, so Autozone won't be able to help you. You will need to go to the Toyota parts department. I would have someone check it out before you start ordering though, as the cable harnesses can be crazy expensive.

corrosion
Of course all the corrosion may your problem but then again, have you tested your battery? IMHO, If you are getting successful jump starts, then I think it would be more like your battery.

Another note to the O.P. - You should really neutralize whatever acid is still there. You can do so using a paste of baking soda and water.

I don't know, but in my old Camry, I had to replace the Positive cable to fix my Acid build up, and car not starting. One symptom was the car wouldn't start, and another was it set off the alarm.

The terminal is separate. If you need that as well, the part number is: 90982-05054
