Battery Terminal Corrosion on '06
Recently noticed that my positive battery terminal was piled up with nasty, green and brown corrosion and the battery appeared to be leaking acid from a seam. Battery checked okay, and thankfully the dealership replaced it. They didn't replace the wiring harness, though - just did a half-assed job cleaning the connector, which has the silver plating burned off. Not thrilled about this or the fact that the technician used my shiny Tungsten Grey fender as a work bench with no protective blanket. It's my fault about that, I had service done on a Saturday by an underpaid technician most likely unhappy about working on the weekend.
Questions:
Anyone else experiencing battery terminal corrosion on their new Mustang?
What causes battery terminal corrosion on a new car?
Should I expect to see this on my new Mustang frequently?
Thanks - I appreciate any input.
