Did you work on the van yet? If so, what did you do, how did it turn out?

I disconnected three plugs from under the van and all three were severely corroded, green powder fell out of them. Despite this I cleaned them with some anti-corrosion cleaner (Radio Shack didn't have Contact Gold) and all seems good so far. Thanks everyone.

contact gold will protect them from further damage, you should at the very least, go to autozone or walmart or something similar and get some dielectric grease to pack the connectors with, to prevent further water intrusion

The spray that I got is suppose to repel water and protect from corrosion. I will look for the dielectric grease this weekend. Thanks.
