But the corrosion I found in the fuse box was a little surprising:
The parking lights up front haven't been working, the brake lights are iffy, the left side high beam doesn't activate, and the turn signals are schizo. Now I know why. Several wires have melted casing in places, but no metal/wire is exposed.
I can label and remove every wire, clean up the fuse box, and refit, but what do I use to clean the connectors? An emery board is too big to get in and file the inside of the connector, and I can't imagine trying to sandpaper out each one. Would battery terminal cleaner work? What is causing this corrosion?
Suggestions welcome. Also, maybe someone could submit a photo of how these wires were originally bundled so it doesn't look like spaghetti under there when I am done.
