green corrosion

[neal zimmerman <neal.zimmerman@xxxxxxxxx>]

So, after growing frustrated with  my  65 Coronet I decided to switch  off  for a while to my off-era Barracuda. I decided to pull the wiring harness out and see if I had hooked everything up correctly 3 years ago, when I installed  new gauges, and replaced the butchered wiring harness.. The car has just been sitting in my shop since then.

   Well.... good thing I did! First off I have no idea what I was smoking when I installed all the Stewart- Warner gauges. I am going to do them right this time.

   But the truly disturbing thing I found was fluffy green corrosion in any kind of connector ( for example , when I pulled the connector off the back of the wiper switch.) And I mean plenty of it.

  I remember I sprayed all the connectors with electrical contact cleaner when I did it all 3 years ago.

   Does that stuff contribute to corrosion somehow?

    I mean, I never found this much green funk  , pulling cars apart in junkyards that had been sitting there 25 years.

   Any thoughts?
