I've used vingar, and baking soda at the same time.. u get that reaction that seems to help break up the corrosion. Dialectric grease is the key for prevention.

If you use the vinegar (acid ph 3) and baking soda (ph10) at the same time you will generate some carbon dioxideFgas. The acid will etch the metal parts and the extra oxygen will oxidize the cable too. It will get rid of the corrosion but eventually thing the wires. Temp solution and add some dielectric grease. should work unitl it gets corroded again.

Be careful using the vinegar...I use vinegar to remove rust from pliers and other tools. Left a pair of needle nose pliers in a cup of vinegar for a week and was surprised how much metal dissolved.

Corosion X id think would work well? spray it on and in a couple secounds it goes away! Dielectric grease everything! Pep Boys has a little blue packets of grease for a dollar a pop. 1 packet last me awhile with some to spare.
