[Shotimes] Original cables & Terminals...

[Don McKinnon (AST)]

I'm starting to have funky electrical issues popping up.  I saved some past
messages on issues like this and I think I need new cables  Taking a look at
the cables coming from the battery, they are very corroded and goes down
inside the jacket.  Headlights are much lower in brightness these days, etc.

I want to take voltage drop measurements across the cables at various
points.

I replaced the terminals last years, they look good today but as I said the
cables are not.

I work on the east coast of FL, ~<200 yards from the beach.  My SHO gets way
too much sea air exposure, in the 3 years I've been here the SHO certainly
has aged due to it!   Good thing next month we are moving to the "mainland"
side and will be miles away from the beach not yards.

You're welcome.  If your cables were original, there is less of a chance
that was the
problem, although it isn't impossible.  I'm sure there are lots of cars out
there with
cheapo replaced terminals.

An entry along this line is going to the SHOTimes FAQ as we speak....I think
this is an
important factor to be aware of as the cars get really old.

Later...
