Would not start even with a jump, someone said un-hook one battery
terminal then hook it back up, I did and it started. repair man said i
had a bad wireing harness, because i had put lead battery terminals on
battery and it was pulling too many amps, but i have had these
terminals on for some time everything looks ok. help

A bit of corrosion between the battery post and the cable clamp.
You un-hooked it, scraping some of crap off in the process, then
re-hooked it, making at least a half-decent connection. Take it
apart again, clean both mating surfaces until they're shiny, and
put it back together.

The repair man is an idiot. (just my opinion)
