    Default corroded wiring harness terminals

    I have some corroded wiring harness terminals that im trying to clean to fix some continuity problems. Whats the best way to get that corrosion off without removing the terminals pin by pin to clean?

    best way is 2 actually start fresh and cut the wire back after the corrosion. once its there its like rust and keeps eating away at the wires.

    not always i had a problem with a wire in the engine bay harness that somhow got moisture under the taped up wires and eventually broke off a few years down the track. was a problem the previous owner always had since new and holden could never find the fault y it was cuttin out while driving. Only really found the culprit coz it let go.
