Sorry for the long message.
This week my battery died on me because I accidentally left the door ajar. I had to run out for an appointment and had the Mrs. call AAA to have them do a quick jump. While I was out, my wife sent me an urgent text message to get home and deal with AAA. They came out and could not even open the hood on the car, find the battery, or knew how too start the car (key less ignition). Thank goodness the wife has great common sense. He wanted to sell her a new battery because mine was supposedly dead. I am not sure if it was incompetence or the hard sell to take advantage of a woman who was in a vulnerable situation. I was able to get home quickly and I sent them packing.
I had used my "Heavy duty" jumper cables and had some difficulty because of the terminals on the Ford were huge and the clamps could not get a real snug fit. I was able to get the clamps seated to jump the car and get it started and the battery has been fine since.
Has anyone ever run into the situation where the clamps could not fit on the terminal? I did some researched and saw some jump cables with "Parrot " clamps. Would the parrot clamps work with large terminal? Any advice is appreciated !!
Thanks
