Sure, ALSO leaving loose connection like that cause voltage surges that can damage electronics, namely the alternator and your engine computer.
Maybe your first thought should have been open the hood and tighten it.
Yes, tighten it.
Gee, ya think?

I removed the negative terminal so I could work on the cluster. When I put the negative back I didn't tighten the bolt and today, I was driving the car and it was fine but when I had stop by my friends house to grab something, I tried to start the car but all I hear is a click. Could this be a result of not tightnening the bolt on the negative terminal?
