Angry Bad Electrical Conections

Alright my car is finally giving me problems. i think i know what it is. my car is losing power when i try to start it. i will turn my key to the on possition before i crank, everything comes on, dashlights, stereo, turbo timer, as soon as i turn the key to start it looses power completely like i pulled a connection to my battery.but my turbo timer still beebs off. my positive terminal was fairly corroded so i went ahead and cleaned that connection completly. hooked it back up and car started perfectly. later today it went back to loosing power. also i pulled the battery and ran a load test on it and it passed so i know it isnt a shity battery. but i was inspecting the wiring and the rubber coating was cut back farther than the connections and some corrosion had begun creeping down them. is this the main source of my problem??? also how hard is it to rewire all the constant hots running off the battery???(the two wires that run from the + terminal to the fuse block under the hood and of course the main one running to the starter???). and if i need to replace all of them would i be better off to just go ahead and relocate the battery in my hatch since i have to rewire everything??? thanks for the help.

yea either that wire is really starting to get corroded or you have a loose connections - thats happend to me and it was my ground wire... i ended up melting it before i knew what it was, so check you ground too! anyway if you do end up moving your battery to the back, i would suggest using 0/1 gauge cause there is gunna be a big difference on how far that power has to be pulled from. plus then with the bigger wire it wont make the alternater work as hard to charge the battery, well good luck with that hope it helps!!!
