[QUOTE="Sea Antsy, post: 513635, member: 33043"] IDK what that is.. ? voltage regulator is my guess.. but based on the level of corrosion... .. Now corrosion is not ON the wires.. it has ERODED much of the wire away... ..and the current (juice) carrying capacity of wire is based on it's thickness.. ie cross sectional area... yours is going, going.. and b4 it is GONE.. you should get a "B" plan in place.. If you can't identify/get one of those .."thingamajigs" whatever it is.. be prepared to Dremel away the plastic ends that was suppose to prevent the moisture from entering the wire jacket and "MINE" your way down to whole, shiny metal..and solder/add a conductor..and use marine grade wire that is tinned.. good luck.. and the liquid seal stuff is prob your best bet..
