This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your Skylark’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I clean corrosion off my Skylark vehicle battery?

Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Skylark’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables. Once the cables have been disconnected, gently clean the terminals with a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag.
