Tech Tip: Cleaning a Corroded Trailer Light Connector

Video tech tip on how to remove the corrosion from your trailer light connector fast and easy. Normally these tend to be exposed to a fair amount of road debris and can corrode over time, therefore making a poor connection. These should be equipped with a cap to help keep the dirt out, but they can either fall off or get lost over time. Unfortunately in some situations the corrosion can be too far gone where it has completely damaged the contacts inside the connect, therefore the connector will need to be replaced.
