is there a good way to do it was going to use a little file but dont want to open the terminals too much
cheers

 

free bumpage mate i need to know this too

 

mine were bad on my saph, bought some stuff to clean em, some liquid stuff, oxy something, but still no good so ended up buying new crimps and re did them all..

 

soapy water and a toothbrush.. make sure you dry it after you rinse it otherwise it will corrode again.
if its off the car then pop it on a radiator, if its in the car then I guess its gently dry with a heat gun..

 

sounds dodgy with water?

 

make sure you disconnect the battery...

my old man did this to my Innovate LC-1 as water go into it and corroded it.. washed it and brushed it with soapy water.. I trust him - he was an electronics engineer for many many years..

or if you have some alcohol around use that instead of water.

 

hmmm but if u dont get all the water out you could be in trouble am i right?

 

yeah obviously. I dont mean drench it though. have you got an airline?

 

yes have an airline mate

 

could be used to dry it out?

I'm not familiar with the escort fuse box if I'm being honest. But could be worth trying if no one else comes up with suggestions..

 

ok mate i will see what others think, thanks for your time and advice!

 

If it's bad you can use wirewool to clean them up, if mild, alchohol may do the trick - depends if it's crud or tarnishing! To prevent further corrosion, use something like this: http://cpc.farnell.com/electrolube/s...in_merch=true&

 

i was told vaseline prevents further corrosion!

 

Soapy water will remove RESIDUE, but won't touch the corrosion itself.
The best stuff to use is DE-OXIT, and a toothpick, the toothpick is used to gently hold the terminal apart so the de-oxit can get to the area needed, only 1 single drop is needed on each side, just as well as for around £25 you only get 2.5ML!!
I get this from 4 sevens.com, and use this extensively on electrically/chemically/battery corroded items, mostly contacts, switches etc.
The beauty of this stuff is it is ONCE only, it seals the terminal preventing any further problems, and ensures perfect conductivity.
It is also ace on the door pin switch contact faces for the interior light switches, as well as the light switch on the interior light itself, stops the flickering etc.

thats the stuff, de-oxit that i got after asking on here previously..didnt do the trick for mine, so got new crimps and re did em..

 

hmmmm guess its worth a try, thanks

 

It won't restore the missing coroded material but will make it perfectly conductive again, will still look the same ie coroded but work 100%

is this the stuff

both look good

 

is this stuff safe to spray on to phase sensor and inside tps sensors
cheers

 

horalogical cleaner its used for clocks good for brass an copper
