  2. Car Maintenance Tips, Battery Terminal Corrosion: adım 2, 1 resimden 1.

    • Locate the battery on the left side of the engine bay.

    • If your battery has a cover on it, remove it and set it aside.

    • Before proceeding, identify the positive and negative leads coming off the battery. The negative lead is generally black and may be marked with a "-". The positive lead is often red and may be marked with a "+".

    • Never bridge the terminals on the battery with your hands or tools. Shorting the battery can severely injure you.

    • Look for corrosion on the battery terminals. Corrosion can be either white, grey, or blue and will generally be quite noticeable.

    • When working with batteries, you must always remove the negative lead from the battery first, even if the corrosion is only on the positive lead.

    • Using a 10mm hex wrench, loosen the nut on the screw holding the negative terminal in place.

    • If the corrosion is preventing you from accessing the nut, use the other (open) end of the wrench or a wire brush to scrape some of the corrosion away.

    • Pull the negative battery cable off of the negative lead.

    • For this guide, we only show the removal and cleaning of the negative terminal. If you are going to clean the positive terminal, first remove the negative terminal and then remove the positive terminal. The process for removing both leads is the same; it is only the order that is important.

    • Scrape the corrosion off of the battery terminal using a wire battery brush or some other scraping/brushing tool.

    • You may want to avoid getting the corrosion all over the inside of the engine bay. Sweeping the corrosion onto a paper plate or rag is a simple way to get the corrosion out of the engine bay without making a mess.

    • Using an air compressor, re-inflate the tires to the desired air pressure.

    • Although many air compressors have built-in tire pressure gauges, they are often inaccurate. Use a handheld gauge to accurately measure the pressure.
