I'm having a few Issues with my Battery. Car Died on me a few Nights ago, I charged the Battery, everything was fine, the next Morning, Battery was almost Dead again. Battery Light doesn't come on during the Day time, only when I'm running the Lights or other Accessories. Guessing something is Draining off the Power and while the Alternator IS Charging it, it's not getting enough Voltage back to the Battery. Lots of Corrosion all over the Terminals, I bought new ones, I need to know what Length of Cables I need so I can buy them too. Also, how hard is it to Replace the Cables? I'm not thinking it's too hard, but only asking cause I did a Search on here, really didn't find nothing. Once again, Thanks in advance. Also, Called Satan today, turns out The Lower Control Arm/Ball Join Replacement was never done on my Car, after 172k Miles, none of the other what? 2 or 3 Owners did it. So I'm hoping that will be the fix to my Clunking Noise on the Passenger Side.

my car made a clunking noise from the passenger side when i first got it. took me forever to figure it out it was the lower ball joint replaced it works just fine no noise. there not cheap though. i would just replace all of them though. because when one goes bad it puts more strain on the others and wears them out too. i never replaced the cables on one of these cars yet. so i won't be much help there sry.

I Replaced the Cables. No Biggie. The Clunking Noise is coming from the Compression Arm. The Dealership wanted $480 per Side, I told them to go to Hell. Found a Used Compression Arm on eBay for around $25 and I'm gonna' Swap em' out when it comes.
