smnjr Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 There's 2 connections on the red positive battery cable that have a fuse ON THE TERMINAL. What are they connected to? Mine is missing the right connection which I'm concern cause I just got a car not running (motor not starting) but just clicks as I try to turn it on. I see that the right connection doesn't have a cable, only the left one. Could that be the problem? I can't find any loose cables that could fit there. I've seen other pics that have both & tried looking for a diagram but no luck. What are they running to? What are they for? Mostly the right side one that I'm missing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 If it clicks that’s a dead battery. It might be the connection for the battery monitoring system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smnjr Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 UPDATE: Actually I got the 2012 fusion running. Not starting & just clicking while turning the key on Had nothing to do with those cables missing. It was actually the battery that wasn't carrying enough charge to crank the car. I even took it to autozone & they charged it and by the time I installed it, it got low again. Battery was bad. Had to buy a refurbished one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smnjr Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Sorry, I didn't see you had asked for a pic until now that I got it fixed. Thank you though. Also, just to mention this other problem I encountered. The car had oil leak at the oil pan. The car seems it was at an accident where it went over something hard under the car. Maybe over some sidewalk or something that it hit the oil pan & it got 2 hairline cracks at bottom of pan. For the meantime I had to use the JB Weld 2 tubes mixture. (Attached pics) It's holding pretty well. But I had to get the one that holds at up to 550 degree F. And 5020 psi. I'm going to put another coat on one of the hairline cracks cause oil still coming out but very little & slow. Followed directions exactly & left it to cure for me than 24hrs before putting oil Back in the pan. But I was doubting it would work but it seems it did. Hopefully the 2nd coat seals that other crack completely. ? just thought I'd mention it in case some one is looking for a temporary fix on similar situation. Edited August 25, 2023 by smnjr Corrected pics that were attached 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolds1 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 JB Weld is up there with duct tape. I once was given a professional orbital polisher that had been accidentally driven over. I repaired the broken case with JB Weld and got years more use out of it. I've read accounts of repairing cracked engine blocks with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
