Want to clean the bulkhead connectors while motor is out I have elec spray cleaner but was wondering what ya'll use to get into the connectors and give them a good scrubbin
Nice I just bought a set of those last monthThese are the ones I used for round terminal sockets:
8 PIECE MICRO BORE AND VALVE GUIDE BRUSH SET BRASS MBBS088 | Matco Tools
Vinegar and table salt solution...dunk connectors and let them soak. Then neutralise with baking soda mixed in water. Does more than you could with a brush.
Yup. Once the connectors are seperated, that's the hardest part IMO.Why not take each terminal out one at a time and treat it to a Scotch Brite pad ?
Did you work it back and forth, and then leave it on or clean it off.I used that "DeOxit" when I did some wiring on my BIL's 72 Duster.

My only concern was that it might attack the foam or some plastics. I found it etches the plastic on the new style fuses in my '85 wagon. Oops!
Tinned? None that I have worked with. I have saved harnesses from 10 or more cars and have not noticed any that were not brass colored. I clean them and they shine up like a penny...almost.Terminals are tinned or plated and if you use an abrasive to clean them up you might expose the base metal underneath and corrosion can start.
I would use contact cleaner.
Got any photos of what you did?Why not take each terminal out one at a time and treat it to a Scotch Brite pad ?
