Hey guys, today I had my expy running while I was parked. then out of no where it started to idle rough, the battery light came on and a message saying check charging system. I popped the hood and found the fuse cable ( not sure of the correct name for it) loose on the battery. I tighten it up and I had no problem so far. Could it have been that wire or did I had reset something and it might come back? Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

It was probably a battery cable or a feed wire if it was a thinner wire. You shouldn't have any more issues unless something else is wrong.

Agree with Stamp

I would remove both battery cables from the battery, clean the terminals until shiny, clean off the top of the battery and put it all back together.

I did buy new terminal clamps a few weeks ago. I guess I didn't tighten the red wire properly.
