Repair Questions and Answers
Question:
1995 Nissan Micra 1000 mileage: 36,000. I have
two questions: 1) For the last two years I have found
increasing deposits of white powder around my battery
terminal. What could be causing this? 2) Twice in the
last two months when I have gone to start my car for the
first time it has crunched and not started as if the
starter motor is not engaged properly. How can this
problem be solved? Could this problem be related to the
battery problem? Thank you
Answer: Remove the battery cables
and clean the battery. Get yourself a carbonated soft
drink, no do not drink it, and pour it on the battery to
neutralize the white powdery substance. Rinse the
battery with water, clean the battery terminals, and
reconnect. This may help your "crunching" starter motor
problems. If it does not, you will probably have to
replace the starter. In addition, load test the battery.
