When you "jiggle" it...what exactly are you jiggling or moving? Is the clamp around the positive battery terminal moving...or are you moving the positive battery cable only?


If you can "jiggle" the positive battery cable and it is loose enough to move around the positive battery terminal...then your cable needs to be tightened (at the least).

I checked the terminal and it’s tight and doesn’t move at all. I mean more that I grab the red cable and move it around a bit and then try to start, it doesn’t always work the first try but it does eventually.
