What's best way to get corrosion off of all these engine bay connectors? A 10 year old f-body's harnesses get awfully corroded.
What's the best way to get the rust off?
Do you take each pin out individually and sand it all off?

I put dielectric grease on the pins whenever I can to slow down corrosion.
On the flat blades, I've used steel wool to clean them up and on the female connectors, I usually end up replacing them with GM terminal repair kit parts. (requires special tools)

I use corrosion block
great stuff the Military uses on saltwater stuff
if the plating is completely gone I use a very fine beadblast
(soda will work good) then use the corrosion block
Also dont laugh but in a pinch Ive used Pepsi and soaked the connector in it
Youd be amazed what it will clean off. Great for battery terminals too.
