my 99 f45 has that same terminal and it's on it's way out. when it goes.. I'll probaby use some sort of tap connector as well.. and just check it often..

Just in case you ever decide to go with a Ford cable when you fix yours, I just ordered one from Tousley Ford in Minnesota. Part # F5TZ-14300-B. Lists for $150. They sell for $84 plus UPS.

Not too bad of a site. They've got spots to type in your VIN and to tell them what you're looking for and they'll answer your questions to help make sure you get the right part.

I've used Tousley for parts for years, but they are local. They have the biggest inventory around and the prices are usually not bad, though not often great. I've had good luck with their parts dept overall (friendly, helpful), but I refer to the dealership as "Lousely Ford" as they are slimy when it comes to the sales side. I wasn't aware they were doing mail order now, but then I just drive over there if needed...

Not that I did a super intensive internet search, but in this instance they did OK by me. They listed my part at $150. Sold it to me for $80 + $14 UPS. Another site showed the part with 2 different length smaller leads coming from the positive terminal. One was $146 and the other at $148. Tousely came recommended at a Ford diesel forum so I gave 'em a shot. Hopefully I don't have to use them (or any other parts supplier) very often. :)

for those of you wishing you could crimp your own 00 cables for batteries and the like

Hydraulic Wire Crimping Tool

I'd grab one of those from the local HF if I thought I'd have more than a one time use for it. But in the current case I'm just buying a whole new cable setup from Ford, so I'll pass for now.

eh if you have a golfcart for the property seems im always replaceing cables on it. would be nice to just cut the ends off and crimp another one on for a fraction of the cost. You can always upgrade the cables to welders wire which has many more strands in it for better current transfer.

That is kind of a neat deal on the crimper. Would be useful for welding cables too.

Sorry - I wasn't clear. Tousely has been good on parts overall for me. It is their car sales side that is slimy
