Slight chance the battery cables are loose at the other end like on the starter or engine ground. real common for people to tighten the battery terminal clamp with it at the top of the battery post. The battery post is tapered so it's smaller at the top. If the terminal is at the top of the post the clamp will tighten on itself and not on the post. Loosen the clamp way off, push the terminal all the way down and re-tighten. If you can grab either bat terminal and twist it by hand, it's too loose.

Although your question is fairly generic to any vehicle it is more appropriate to have in the right section. I note that we do not have a special section for FTO so belive it is similiar to rthe Eclipse. Forgive me if I am wrong but am not familiar with this model. Jim NOTE: My apologies this should be in the Mitsi-other section. If section Mod could move for me please.
