I thought this was a battery problem but I was wrong.

Default I thought this was a battery problem but I was wrong.

A while back when I had my dead battery in the car, the starter would click upon starting. I replaced the battery 2 months ago and that seemed tto solve the problem. Well, I guess not, I just went out to start her to move her, and it wouldn't start. Click. Security light is fine, so I am taking that I have a dirty connection somewhere? Because sometimes the starter will turn, sometimes it won't and sometimes I will crank it and the starter will stop in the middle of cranking like there is a loose or corroded connection. Am I right?

Cleaned the connectors. The positive was wildly corroded. Fires right up now.
