1. PRIOR UNRELATED DISCUSSION WITH A TOW TRUCK DRIVER ADVISED ME THAT HE HAS HAD TO TOW IN A COUPLE OF CARS THAT ARE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS MINE. HE ADVISED ME THAT THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE WERE FAILING. HE ADVISED ME TO CHECK IT. 2. I CHECKED MY POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION TO THE BATTERY YESTERDAY. THERE WAS SEVERE CORROSION AND 1/2 OF THE CONNECTING CLAMP WAS EATEN AWAY BY CORROSION AT THE POSITIVE SIDE OF THE BATTERY/CABLE. 3. I CLEANED THE CONNECTION AS BEST I COULD BUT I WILL BE CALLING FORD AS VEHICLE IS ONLY 1 YEAR OLD. CABLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BEFORE FAILURE. THERE APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM AS WHY IS THIS HAPPENING IN ONLY 1 YEAR? REPLACEMENT OF THIS CABLE SEEMS TO BE ONLY A TEMPORARILY FIX. *TR
