Why do cars light sockets have a goop in them?
To keep the electrical contacts clean and corrosion free.
Does pouring coke on car battery get rid of corrosion?
It will help, but a much better solution is to remove the battery cables, clean the connections and then use baking soda to neutralize the corrosion.
When this 1997 sable is driving it downshifts and on its own and hesitates could it be the kickdown cable?
Check electrical connections on transmission for corrosion and/or moisture
What would cause a 1972 Chevrolet pickup with a good battery and starter to not start?
Check your cables for corrosion; if there is any,clean them or replace them. Clean the connections at the starter and clean all grounding wires; test the starter regardless if you think it is good. Clean the battery terminals.
Why is it important to keep electrical component clean?
why it is important to keep electical component clean
What does it mean when it says fuel pump circuit high?
you have an electrical issue with your fuel pump circuit. in other words you need to check you're connections. there is a ground somewhere that there shouldn't be. corrosion maybe
How can you clean the green corrosion of bronze?
It's not corrosion, it's oxidisation. -Clean it off with a good metal polish such as Dura-Glit.
Why is gold sometimes used in electronic devices?
Gold is particularly used in electrical contacts because of its electrical conductivity, ductility, resistance to corrosion (in particular, it doesn't react with oxygen - unlike most other metals) and lack of toxicity.
How do you clean corrosion on a car battery?
Clean it with a mixture of baking soda and water.
Characteristics of copper?
Corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. and its metal
How corrosion occurs?
Corrosion in a vehicle's electrical system can occur for several different reasons. Moisture on electrical contacts can cause copper to rust. This rust is blueish green and has an increased resistance to electricity causing a closed circuit. The solution is to clean the connections and apply electrical contact grease. It's also a good idea to make sure that any protective contact covers ( rubber or plastic ) are in good condition. Another type of corrosion occurs where high voltage spark is arcing across connections. This is true between the rotor and the contacts on the inside of the cap and on spark plug tips. Examination of these places on old parts will reveal that some of the metal is actually missing; the spark having caused particles of metal to fall off. This occurs slowly over long periods of use. The solution to this type of corrosion is to replace the parts. This happens to a lesser extent with normal voltage ( usually 12v ) on other electrical plugs, harness connections, fuses and relays. Cleaning these plugs is usually sufficient to get them operating properly. Another type of corrosion due to electricity in cars is caused by poorly grounded starter motors and is noticeable at coolant ports on vehicles with aluminum heads. When the ground strap between the motor is not clean the electricity from the ground of the starter motor produces ions in the coolant and can carry bits of aluminum away. When taking off the thermostat housing, for example, there will be rough spots where the aluminum should be smooth and some of the material will be missing. The solution to this problem is to clean the ground straps between the motor and the chasis. One can also add a ground from the starter bolt or starter body that runs directly to ground on the chasis.
Why not any person can make electrical connections?
Electrical connections are based on phase neutral earth in single or three phase should know this
