Im thinking its just a dirty connector( hopefully). if someone knows anything please let me know its becoming a real pain.
You might consider replacing both battery cables and make sure that the area where the NEG. cable attaches to at the other end is free of rust,dirt,oil...The cables do break down over time and get corroded under the insulation...

Torque it down till it breaks off, then back it off 1/4 turn.
