Corrosion again!?
I just replaced the battery cables in my 1991 Ford Explorer EB because the vehicle wouldn't start. Car has run fine since the replacement approx 2 months ago. Looked under the hood today and noticed a significant amount of greenish colored corrosion around the positive battery cable connector. What does this suggest? I'd hate to have to replace the cables again if I can prevent it now. By the way, this is the same cable that showed corrosion prior to the replacement. Should I replace the battery? I had Autozone test the battery before I replaced the cable and they said it was fine...don't know if that means anything or not! Help!?

There is also an anti corrisve spray that comes in a can. Clean up the battery posts and cable ends and spray both. As an added measure add the felt washers. This should give you full protection for less than $10.
