OK, question for those who know a bit more about electrics than I do...
What the hell is that white furry buildup of corrosion on the battery terminals! Well, I know what it is, but how do I stop it coming back!
It is only on our old '82 Rodeo ute...only on the negative terminal of the battery.
I have tried everything to stop it...cleaned the cable end thoroughly, put a new battery terminal on it, those little felt pads under the terminals, caked it with vasoline, the lot...still, after a month or so, it comes back. Only on the negative terminal. Good old baking soda and vinegar get rid of it completely, but no matter how religiously I clean everything up, it always comes back.
Any ideas on what might be causing it?
