    Negative Battery Post Corrosion

    Noticed some corrosion on negative post. Can I just disconnect the negative cable and clean the post and cable? Will preset radio stations need to be reset?

    Thanks to all that responded. After reading all of the posts, I will try to sell to a dealer or a KBB purchase. Money will be split 3 ways, so a little is better than nothing.
