I had absolutly no problems till I put in a new OEM battery after 4 years.. Been corroding ever since. Had the dealer check the charging system and they found no shorts anywhere. I read it might be a very slight gas leak around the terminal post. I will be changing the terminal wires next week to see if that helps

My old 98 GT had this problem. I always just used baking soda and water to clean off the corrosion crap.

This stuff works fine. I made a spray shield out of cardboard and gave the terminals two good coats. Then I put those felt red and black "washers" under the terminal clamps for good measure. No corrosion at all in 7 years.

Thanks, I will use the spray and the pads with the new battery cables. That should be the end of that problem

Most battery manufactures batteries seap through the terminals. The only ones that I know that don't are Interstate and Ultima. Every Ford I have ever owned has done this except for the factory on my Cobra
