I think mine was caused by a loose nut as well. I ordered a new terminal and should have it today.

I went ahead and pulled the blower yesterday to change the gear oil and switch the plastic fittings to brass ones as well as change all the hex bolts to the stronger ones from McMaster. I was trying to hold off and do everything when my intercooler arrived but they are still backordered for another month. Glad I did it now because my gear oil was fairly low and plastic fittings were really loose. I also replaced my #1 coil pack which was really easy to do.
