Will your car start if you have corrosion that looks like grease on the battery terminal?

It could start but if it is indeed corrosion you probably want to clean it off. Somtimes people will lightly apply a form of anti-corrosion grease to battery terminals to prevent corrosion. Your typical signs of battery corrosion look like greenish or white stuff that will crumble away easily when disturbed. You probably don't want to touch it though a bottle of water and some old rags (where some protective gloves and/or wash hands thouroghly afterwards) that you can throw away, should clean it up. The battery terminal affected should be removed and cleaned to a shine with a wire brush for best results. Be careful working around battery terminals as not to short the battery it could be very dangerous. But yes battery corrosion will definitly cause a car to not start. I don't recall seeing it look like grease, that is unusual. Hope this info helps.

What causes the battery light to come on when both the battery and alternator check out okay?

The alternator may be putting out some amps, but the regulator inside is failed. The alternator is the first thing to replace when the battery lamp comes on in these vehicles. Also make sure the battery is not leaking acid. Remove the positive and negative cables from the battery and look for corrosion. If corrision is found, you'll need to replace the battery and also take the battery cable covers off to clean the contact pads down to bare metal. Make sure all corrosion is removed. Russtech67
