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? |
