Its normally a poor crimp on the treminal to cable joint.

If you can find an auto electrician with the correct crimp tool then get it tightened up.

Yes, seen that a few times, due to the connection of the cable to the clamp being poor.

Spray some WD40 under the keys on your keyboard, it'll gain you those vital extra thousands of seconds.
