Mang if you ask for help and ppl give advise you should at least check out what they're telling you. I told you to check for corrosion and you obviously didn't even take the connectors of the post to have a look, if you had taken this advise you would have saved yourself alot of heart-ache. <_<

i know i'm stupid, i did take them off. i cleaned the inside and outside, but didn't even realize or notice the underside (until it was two days later anyway). it was a pretty thick layer too.
anyway thanks and all laugh.gif
im keepin the new battery in there and cleaned those suckers good, threw a lot of white grease on em and should be good to go.
