Your video is a lifesaver Hyundai was trying to up sale me because it wasn’t a part specific for my car and wanted to do a 400 dollar job the part cost 50 bucks and i did the manual labor just with the video you’re awesome
Amazon has these with the exact same part number and appearance (good close up pix and reviews) for $15 . This video was great as I will soon be changing the battery on my Hyundai and it will be great to know exactly how they work.
Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to replace the positive terminal on my ‘14 Kia Forte and couldn’t find the part anywhere. Thankfully the parts are the same between the Forte and the Veloster
Thank you just fitted the part took less than 15 minutes, but took me over 2 weeks to source. Video was awesome like to remove the annoying cable ties that do not seem necessary. The ridiculous design of this part. But thanks for the video.
My 2016 Elantra GT has this same piece the adjustment bolt is tight but the terminal still twists loose around the battery resulting in failed starts/clicking at times, but according to hyundai's oem parts site it will not fit my vehicle and suggested the entire assembly (cables, housing etc all like $500+) I call BS on Hyundai and ordered this same part off amazon and going to attempt to change it. Though I may look for these shims you mentioned earlier on first. Thanks
I'm trying to do the same thing as the Veloster on a 2015 Hyundai Accent, the postive terminal, they look exactly the same, but I can't figure out how to remove the back piece to free the 2 connectors so I can slide the terminal in, no twist ties and it seems to be all one piece. Am I missing something in removing or getting those 2 connectors out of the way? A better video of that would have helped. Please help with any suggestions. I can't drive my Accent until I fix this.... thanks in advance.
I found an image of the cover as removed.

Sorry, but that doesn't look like the one in the video or on my Accent... I have to figure out how to remove that cover behind the 2 connectors so I can slide the new teminal in. To bad you can't upload .jpg , then i could show you
well, actually, this one component is used in over 230 different vehicles. While I am sure that there are some other different housing brackets, this one was in a 2015 Hyundai Veloster turbo. it did not have additional hardware attached. What year and make is your vehicle?
My elantra 2016 has this piece very loose and rusty and my mechanic said thats what is giving my transmission problems, my car starts i can put it on reverse and it goes but it dont go forward on drive, it doesnt sound bad either and it takes the over drive and i also never had transmission problems, could that be it?
While it may seem counter intuitive, it actually does make sense. Electrical systems have a lot of nuances. Increased resistance might not affect less delicate systems, like the starter. But computer circuits are more sensitive to fluctuations. These are not too difficult to replace, and will make the vehicle more reliable.
My car was fixes again but now im getting problems again, its really weird yhe car takes a couple seconds to go on drive after i turn it on, everything works fine after it fails once i can put the car on park while is on and switch it to drive and it wont fail, what can it be
Many vehicles have circuits that bypass the wiring harness. Like the emergency flashers. Hard to say what it could be. I suggest you do a search for a wiring diagram
@@AlexPlatacis Thanks, I have been searching for a couple days and no luck. I noticed some people have the fuse in that spot and other don't even in the same year model.
@@AlexPlatacis Thank you for the quick reply. I sheared the bolt off and ended up breaking the plastic in the process pulling the terminal. Looks like the only way to get the plastic replaced is a new wiring harness from dealer.
looks like quite a few for about $10 on ebay www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&_nkw=hyundai+battery+terminal+cover&_sacat=0
Looks exactly like the 2012-2018 Wrangler JK battery terminal (which are horrible) and never attach an accessory to the conical bolt or it prevents it from tightening.
same clamp on my genesis G80 but its buried in a plastic assembly much larger than this one. trying to figure how to get that assembly apart. dang. great video for everyone that has a kia though, thank you!
Thanks for explaining how this abomination works. Had to replace a battery on a Town and Country this morning, and the positive just wouldn't get snug enough. I thought I was doing something wrong, cause I've never run into a terminal like this. Guess I'm gonna have to try a shim, the positive post is just a tad too small.
I mean it's just a way to make a simple part complex in the name of manufacturing efficiency I'd guess. On my 2008 elantra it went loose & started causing electrical trouble. Found a decent universal terminal that is acceptable, but a properly designed aftermarket part would be nice.
Totally agree. Not to mention it appears to be designed to break, as this design is counter intuitive. If its loose, tighten it. Nope! In this case, it will break
Thank you! Yes you are correct. I ordered a terminal from Amazon and it wouldn't fit inside the plastic jacket correctly for my 2013 although it is very close. If I could find the part number for a 2016 plastic jacket and cover I would just switch it out. If not I may just try using a dremel on mine to get the new terminal to fit.@@AlexPlatacis

@@AlexPlatacis Was told by Hyundai they do not sell a 2013 positive replacement terminal. It is part of the wiring harness. The Part# for it is 91855-2v030 cost is $450 which is ridiculous. Will use the dremel on the plastic jacket and make the 2016 terminal fit.

Craziest battery clamp design I've ever seen. I'm trying to tighten my grand daughters positive terminal clamp. Now I know what to do...thanks!
thanks for the positive remarks.

I do have a replacement terminal and I got the old one out with some bending and twisting, but I cannot slide the new one in
If you were somewhere near Dallas TX, I would come out to help. Now you have my interest. Wish I could jump into a teleprompter... beam me up
THANK YOU!! Great video!!!
There is a fuse or a sensor in the back left part of that terminal how do you get it out, the video doesn't show it

You should probably check fluid levels. Sounds like you might be low on transmission fluid
I just bought a different aftermarket clamp (with protective box), made a new terminal and work better.
Mine has a 10a fuse in the top corner, what is it for?

Hey man I’m having a hard time taking the plastic lid apart how did you do it?
There are Two zip ties that hold that thing together. If you pull st UT you should be able to see the connect points
Good helpful video thanks
Hi Alex, does this hyundai positive terminal case design serve as an overload current protection as well?
I don't believe so. there is no resistors, or breakers. I think it is just meant to be compact, and protect from the elements

If it has one of those felt donuts on the post. Just take that off. You may get it to slide further on
Same problem on my 2014 T&C! Why use a $5 part when a $25 part is OEM.
Those two back nuts are not budging even after I spray wd40

I just picked one up for the 2016 Elantra. Damn thing kept coming loose.
sure is a pain when your car won't start.
but quite a relief when you realize you don't need a new battery.😉
Looks very similar to my 2013 elantra. Hope it’s actually the same part can’t seem to find anything on an Elantra

Not off hand...
But I do know the plastic jacket differs from one year to the next. You can find those available as a separate part
