We're slowly making progress on our generator replacement and are now getting into the electrical system. My son will be asking for help identifying some of the components on another thread shortly but here's one thing we would appreciate input on.
There are a lot of heavy gauge battery type cables running from place to place. The ones on our coach seem to be fine, no breaks and the insulation seems OK too. But they are dirty and the ends are heavily corroded. Dirt and green corrosion is everywhere and we're wondering if it has penetrated into the end fittings and will cause a conductivity problem if we use them in their current condition.
Question is then is the above a problem. If so, can we clean the ends somehow and if so how? If we must we can cut the ends off and replace them but we'd sure like to use them as is as they seem sound except for the dirt and corrosion.
Thanks again to all for your input. As always, you all have been a tremendous help in the past.
