When the strap is undersized, corroded, or has loose terminals, resistance climbs and the starter sees a fraction of the voltage it should. Symptoms include slow cranking, a clicking solenoid, dim dash lights when you turn the key, and gradually worsening starting in cold weather. A new 14\" braided strap restores full current flow and fixes problems that get misdiagnosed as bad starters, weak batteries, or bad solenoids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy Braided Instead of Solid Cable\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBraided strap construction handles vibration and flex far better than a solid copper cable.
