Subject:      Re: Cleaning corroded connectors
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Thanks for the help everyone. I found that folding sand paper to be double sided, then sliding it in and out od the female connector worked okay. At least the van is running, although far from optimum at this point.

I find the Fuel Injection connectors are the worst by far, so I cleaned what I could - and I think replacement will be required in some cases.

As a side note, I will start a second thread for the CAUSE of this corrosion. I'd appreciate any insight, if possible!

Thanks again, Shawn '73 Campmobile '86 Camper GL
