PLEASE HELP - Battery Issues

[redram04]

2017 Ram 1500 5.7. Need to replace a heavily corroded positive battery terminal. Unable to find a replacement part or part#. Has anyone had to do this? It looks like there is no replacement available unless I replace the all of the battery wiring and I'm unable to find a part for it either. Unable to find any aftermarkets that will connect to the fusible link. Dealership has no idea either. They are thinking that I may have to replace the ENTIRE HARNESS.. Worried about getting stranded on the road until I get this fixed.

Just a suggestion, have you tried a local salvage yard to get the positive battery terminal/wires that you need off another gen 4 Ram.
All you would need to do is just splice those wires into your harness one by one.
Very important splice the wires together using the method that the factory service manual calls for.

Have you done the old Baking Soda treatment to try and clean it up.Being a 17 you might get lucky soaking it in a cup of water and baking soda and wire brushing it clean,then give it another soak in clean water and baking soda,then use a grease spec'd for battery terminals. If you haven't done that,i'd try it first and if it doesn't clean up,then go looking for a battery cable

Wild One, I have cleaned the terminal but it took on some damage because it was so corroded. Therefore, I am unable to get a very good hook up to the battery post. This is why I need to replace it.

Try Napa and Carquest. Sometimes they have some off the oddest OEM parts that nobody else has. I’m really surprised the dealer can’t find 1 for you.
