replaced the battery about a year ago, one year after a major meltdown...battery and module fried when battery went dead and someone crossed the cables..was not ther when it happened...told there was a show worthy of those we see a 4th of July and Canada day....long story short, system was running ok...noticed corrosion on battery, replaced a yr ago...have since cleaned battery terminal twice...corrosion back again...I'm thinking it is the alternator...I have no light on the spedo (odometer field)...clock light is out as well...just recently changed burned out high beam bulb on right side...still not working...was careful not to touch the halogen bulb...any advice other than buying a new car.
Thx
