Can't stand working on a dirty engine or compartment.
Why I even understand removing the dirt and oil from everything makes the engine run cooler and we all know what happens if you don't keep the terminals and top of the battery clean.

Did Jeep put a white grease on all electrical connections?
Every one I ever took a part on my Jeep has white grease in it.
And of coarse dirt sticks great to grease.

I plan on cleaning up the engine compartment and that includes all wiring harnesses and connection. I didn't forget the grounds.
My old supervisor at the garage use to call them redondant grounds.
And I'm sure I spelled that one wrong.

Pretty Cool!~John
Thanks!~Cruise54.
By the way, I'm still a gear head at 55.
My other truck is a 1967 Dodge P.U. red and black/
D200 rebuilt and turned into a 4x4.
Look on sweptline.org for johns67.
My truck made their calander a couple years ago in Dec.
I'm 59 and still at it.

Just clean the connectors and don't worry about gunking them back up. If anything, use OxGard sparingly on the contacts.
