this is again on my friends car. we had the battery tested last week and it tested fine. when we go to startup the car it fails to start sometimes. to resolve this issue, we either 1. shake the car and try again. or 2. if that fails, we pop the hood and wiggle the connections. it works after doing these things. does this mean he should replace the battery cable? i cleaned it up a little bit with some water and a rag, checked the water levels in the cells and two of them were low. should that fix it or should we replace the cables as well?

just go and get a new battery, and get a wire brush to clean off your terminals and battery cables -

I would replace in this order:
1) new battery ground cable (Order OEM from Majestic)
2) new battery
3) new starter
When selenoids on starters go bad, they can act pretty strange.

well the battery is fairly new so im pretty positive it has nothing to do with the battery itself, cable is what im going to try next. thanks for the suggestionsWar is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.
