I'm not sure what you meant by just "tightening", but, that doesn't mean that you have a good connection (positive or negative).

You need to get a Circular Wire Battery Terminal Brush, knife, and anything else you'd need to take all the negative/positive terminals apart, scrape/clean till they're bright as fresh silver, and THEN tighten them securely. Also, there are several other ground wire/straps located around that should be "maintained" as well.
