Hi Jorge, I'm new to the Westy clan, but FWIW I've had plenty of 'mature' vehicles. Regarding the grounding issue, baking soda solution is really only usefull in areas corroded due to acid, which is usually just the battery terminals, and sometimes other areas of the battery compartment if you've got a leaky Duracell. For other ground points, the best way is to thoroughly clean the connector and the contact area, and preferably coat both surfaces with an electrical contact grease. It will a) improve the electrical conductivity of the connection and b) help prevent future corrosion of the parts you just cleaned. Hope this helps, JD > Grounds! Reading thru the archives I've heard of 7 or so grounds. So far > I've done two, My question is: Will something like a baking soda/water > solution help clean the grounds?? What do y'all recommend?
