Your new parts have since lost its coating which is helping that corrosion to grow. I noticed that your battery looks wet in the cracks, possible the battery is leaking acid. Napa or other shops even Walmart sell a battery terminal cleaning can, It will also say with "Leak Detector". When you spray the battery to clean it, the yellow foam will turn pink/red letting you know that battery is leaking. The can of cleaner I'm referring to is what we use at my shop to clean the terminals, and to verify any battery acid leaks. | |

Either way, Rod, could you edit your response to include capital letters and punctuation? We strive for high-quality answers on this website. Yours has good information, but should be updated with proper sentences. | |
