Looks like my repaired battery tray and hell hole were christened by my new battery based on the white residue and light rust forming in the tray. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
From what I’ve read in posts, I’m thinking voltage regulator and/or alternator as a probable cause. Any words of wisdom for someone new to electrical system troubleshooting and battery acid damage control? |

Disconect the battery while not in use and spray a baking soda solution around the battery tray and engine shelf and hell hole area below the battery as regular maintainence.Charge the battery outside the vehicle.

BTW - my pic above was with baking soda wash, spray down, etc. - it is NOT the Holy Grail Sir Galahad ~ ...How long does it take a sparrow to fly .....? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
