Whoa! Corrosion!

For the heck of it, I pulled an electrical connector apart off my fuse box and found a nice, frosty looking metal underneath. Not good! Those darn blades will corrode and short a good connection. A little scraping on both the blade and inside the female part of the connection renewed it. Now, how many are left? Whoosh! And where? I used to do this annually but have been remiss. Time to get on the stick. Bullet connectors are just as prone to corrosion.
 
just be careful inhaling fumes from corrosion x. it makes you sslur your wordss and emphasisse ss's. but it is great sstuff. :smile: :smile:
 
Corrosion X is a new product to me. Sounds great. Where do you get it? I've used Deoxit5 and it is the ONLY product I have found where the label actually addresses the removal of corrosion on electrical contacts. I will try out the CorrosionX. Thanks for the tip.
 
You can order direct from the website or google it for many vendors. We use it on aircraft cannon plugs to keep moisture out and good electrical contacts. This is in the offshore environment(salt water)and it works great! My TR3 is getting treated with it.
 
Also you can use dialectric grease. Permatix makes one. I find it works great.
 
is there anything special to do before using the corrosion x? I think that is going to solve a few of our "mystery" problems! thanks
 
Just make sure your connections are clean and corrosion free before applying.
 
thanks-I'm going to order some up today.
