Today I was poking around the battery when I notice that the positive battery terminal (plate?) seemed very loose. A little closer exam revealed that the plate was separating from the terminal collar itself - If this breaks off all power is lost. So, at least as a temporary fix, I walked out to the back yard and retrieved a peace of SS plate and made up a little link that ties everything together. Yes, I know it's not going to win any beauty contests but it should last (maybe my lifetime?) or until I get an OEM part which likely is going to be pricey as, for whatever reason, Ford integrated one of the power feeds directly into the plate that is coming apart..
Soooo you just might want to take a quick check of this terminal plate as it may not be an isolated incident.
