Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Cherokee’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Cherokee, it's likely corrosion.

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

How do I remove corrosion from my Cherokee car battery?

Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Cherokee’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.
