Default Help

For the last week or so, I've had trouble starting my car (as in, when I tried starting it, the electrical would go out) but when I toggled the terminal on my battery, the electrical would come back on and it would start up normal. Well today I decided to change the battery terminal. I bought a different kind then the one that was on there (it had one like http://www.yuehjyh.com/image/product.../YJ-9702-2.jpg without the bolt on top and more crappier looking.. this is the one I bought to replace it http://www.mfgsupply.com/img/rotary/31-8596.jpg). I didn't take much off the wire to the positive since there wasn't much of it anyways. So I went to start it up after hooking everything up, and it wouldn't turn over but all the electrical worked. Any ideas what I may have done wrong or what it may be?

there are several little white wires that you need to hook up to the positve side of the battery. are you sure you put all the wires back on??
