Dropped the fuse box on my 89 the other day because the fuses were getting hot and discovered a nightmare.
Plan is to clean the factory dielectric grease off so I can let the terminals soak in lemon juice,vinegar,or coke to eat the green corrosion that has built up on the bulkhead terminals.
What kind of grease did the factory use on the fuse box firewall bulkhead connector anyway?It looks like brownish/black tar and no matter what I do I cant clean this stuff off so I can pack it with new.
I was able to get enough length out of the wires and was able to put the entire bulk head in a container full of castrol super clean.Let that soak for two days and the stuff is still packed in there!!!
Thinking about letting it soak in acetone but dont know if it will eat the plastic of the bulkhead or wire insulation....almost to the point of doing away with the bulk head connector and hardwiring the wires that go through the firewall.Would like to avoid that at all cost because that would be ALOT OF WORK!!!
