Battery
Finally check your battery. If they're anything like the image below
they should be cleaned immediately. Dirty terminals like this
could cause your car not to start. The cables should be clean
and tight and free from corrosion build up.
BATTERIES CAN BE DANGEROUS IF
HANDLED IMPROPERLY THEY CONTAIN ACID AND SHOULD BE HANDLED WITH
CARE. WEAR
PROTECTION EYEWEAR AND GLOVES WHEN WORKING ON BATTERIES. IF YOU
HAVE QUESTIONS OR ARE NOT SURE SEE A QUALIFIED TECHNITION BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
To clean corroded terminals use a mixture of baking
soda and water at a paste like consistency. Apply it to the terminals and let
it sit for a few minutes
then rinse with plenty of fresh water. The battery should look like the image
to the left with the terminals free of rust and corrosion.. They should be
tight.
BE VERY CAREFULL NOT TO GET
ACID ON PAINTED SURFACES OR YOURSELF. RINSE ANYTHING THAT COMES INTO CONTACT
WITH THE ACID OR
CORROSION WITH PLENTY OF FRESH WATER.
