SuiteSuccess Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Related to my sensor problem. I have a lot of rust on the back of the transmission and around the sensor ports. I can get a wire brush there for some of it but need good rust dissolver that won’t harm any electronic components. I thought there was a recent discussion on this but couldn’t find it using the search function. BTW have been soaking the area for two days with PB Blaster. 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

jkoenig24 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 "DeOxIt" neutralizes dendrite corrosion and helps restore good electrical contact. It's commonly used on battery terminals but, I would give it a shot on the electrical connections at the back of your transmission. DeOxIt is available as a spray as well as a brush on liquid. Brush the area as best as you can, blast off the crud you've loosened with compressed air (while wearing safety glasses). Make sure the connections are tight and then, use the DeOxIt on all the electrical connections. I heard about DeOxIt from Gary Bunzer, "The RV Doctor". Gary highly recommends DeOxIt. https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=deoxit+contact+cleaner&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need a good rust dissolver to clean the metal housing not any electrical connections. Just wanted suggestions that would not hurt wiring or plastic sensors if it contacted them. 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

GlennWest Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 I would think anything that removes the rust will not damage the wiring. I want to say sandblast but again it will damage the wiring and sensors. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
