  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Trailblazer’s battery post? A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can cause a white, crusty buildup to form on the terminals of your Trailblazer car battery. This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.
  • What do I do about corrosion on my Trailblazer car battery? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Trailblazer’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.
