Default Help!!!!

Okay so my car wont start. It will just click once and then stop. Its not the battery cause i got theat tested but my battery terminals are all messed up and i need new ones. I think this is my issue and im going to get new wires and all that for the battery. Is wiring it up hard and is there anything else that this could be? thanks

Replacing battery terminals and wires is a cake job. While you're at it make yourself a grounding kit with some 8-10 gauge wire. Try to make at least 4 good contact points on a clean surface of the frame. I suggest using a wire brush to scrape off paint to expose clean bare metal. Most people think it's an import thing but any car could benefit from it and you may get a better spark to your plugs. Kits run about $50 but you can make your own for much cheaper.
