My battery terminal carroded awhile back, and I haven't been able to find a good replacement terminal ever since. All the terminals I find, don't fit properly, causing the terminal to not have good contact and cause the car to not start sometimes. Where can I get a good replacement terminal that actually fits?

You can pick up a replacement battery terminal set at Pepboys for under 10 bucks. I replaced my loose positive battery terminal a few years ago and so far so good. The replacement terminals I purchased from Pep boys is of better quality & material than stock. Good luck.

Since my initial post, my car has turned off while driving on the highway twice due to the loose battery termal. Lights flicker if I press on the break, use turn signal, anything. As soon as I reposition the terminal to a more snug position by hand, all the car electrics work fine.

Are you being sure to buy the correct terminal? The positive and negative terminals have different sizes. Honestly, off the top of my head I forget which is smaller and which is larger, but they are not equal. I myself have used some gold plated Streetwires battery terminals with no problems.

Is you negative side the problem?

I think at AZ its called "lead free teriminal". It has a few different parts in there and i think its the closest aftermarket part available to a factory toyota peice. It has the stud facing up that you drop your wire eye-lets over and lock down with a nut.
