There are a number of references on the internet to corrosion of the positive battery terminal on the 2004 Suzuki XL7. I discovered the problem when the terminal broke apart as I attempted to remove the battery terminal to clean it. The repair is actually quite simple.
Attached to the positive battery terminal is a gray plastic part, approximately 1.75" x 1.5". This part contains a 100 amp fuse. Suzuki identifies it as the "battery fuse" (part number 36739-52J00). Remove the two cables from the battery fuse by removing the two hex nuts (10mm and 12mm). The battery terminal is attached by the bolt with the 12mm nut. I found a universal replacement battery terminal at my local auto parts store. Simply reassemble the battery fuse to the two cables and the new battery terminal.
If the corrosion is so bad that you are forced to destroy it like I did, you might find a replacement battery fuse at your local Suzuki dealer. I purchased mine from http://www.suzukicarparts.com who I have found to be a very reliable source of Suzuki parts.

disconnect the negative battery terminal only for a while. Sometimes it works in 10 minutes, sometimes an hour. Do it for an hour.
In the 2004 Suzuki XL-7, the fan fuse is located in the fuse box, which is typically found under the dashboard on the driver's side or in the engine compartment.
