One doesn't "fix" a corroded battery cable, one cleans it with baking soda and water, and a toothbrush. Mix two parts of baking soda to one part water, dump it on the terminal and the cable. It will bubble and froth, and take the toothbrush and scrub. Pour clean water over the mess you made. Next, you can remove BOTH cables and take a steel brush to both cables and terminal so they are nice and shiny.
Yes, you are not getting enough "juice" to power the acessories.
It's not a fuse - they are either blown or they work. It's probably the cable - you can try dj's idea but if it's in really bad shape you might need to replace it.
Loss of battery power causes your radio to forget its preset stations.
One of the wires connected to my car battery is seriously corroded. I'm planning on getting it fixed soon. I would have trouble starting the car without jiggling the wire. When the car did start, no radio. No clock or anything. Would this be the direct cause of the rusty wire or could it be a fuse?
