I'll check for loose connection.

LOOSE means electrically lousy , not usually mechanically loose.

This requires removing the end and cleaning the end and its attachment spot. SS toothbrush works fine.

One trick is to obtain brass star washers of the stud or screw size.

Then install the washer after cleaning.Inside or outside teeth , does not matter.

It will help ID the ones you have cleaned , and 10x more important it will keep the terminals in good contact after a high current heating episode.
