2015 Rogue ALMOST stranded me!

[burrpenick]

Was 300 miles away from home, would do nothing when I pushed the start button, narrowed it down to the positive battery cables fuseable link that is on the side of the battery/positive cable. Has 5 fuse links and ONE had corroded and was not making contact. Could JUMP it and start, but not stay running if I removed the screwdriver. McGuyvered it w/some aluminum foil, got to a dealer (on New Years Eve) and they didnt have one but a tech had saved a used one and GAVE it to me! WHAT LUCK! Only one of the 5 links is broken but its basically gone where it connected to the male end of the terminal on the bottom of the plastic box. Can that spade be removed/replaced and then just soldered back to the other side of the link? My 2015 has 5 links, see some from DORMAN but they only have 4? HELP!

Soldered is generally not welcome in high current situations . Unless you are able to TIGHTLY pre-wrap around a thru-hole , or , soldering on top of crimping , the developed heat + high ambient heat can melt the solder . So solder must be a very ' secondary ' or insurance , and NOT the primary electrical mating method !
And soldering on top of a crimp at / near the battery can help to vastly reduce acidic absorption into battery strands which = " SLOW DEATH " to battery cables .Key word ' corroded strands ' will get you stranded , without a roll!
Will the real McGuyver come forward

Good to know this before trying to have it repaired- and was surprised that some wadded up alum foil actually made the connection, but in 15 miles it loosened up twice so 300 miles was not my plan, that used board fr the dealer was perfect. I see several on Ebay and Amazon that look similar but they only have 4 links and mine has 5, and are not configured the same either; not seeing that one I have or found the Nissan part either. Maybe you can guide me to something? George in Tallahassee

Remember waaaay back when all that stuff was under cover of an engine bay fusebox , away from battery acid splash .

I only see one p/n for the '15 Rogue, it's 24380-JG70B. There are several eBay listings, the cheapest I see is $55 free-ship. That's a bit cheaper than NissanPartsDeal ($50.34 + ship) but not much. Haven't looked at Amazon, might be a better deal there.
