Know this is an old thread but just wondered if there is a definative answer to this.

Have the same corrosion issue on mine as pictured and the metal web has totally disintegrated.

Understand replacement cale, and labour is megabucks.

Do I just leave it or anything else that can be done.

Thanks

Just leave it, the braided wire you see is just the outer ground/noise shield that does not carry the power. No need to worry unless your hybrid system stops working. Haven't heard of this happening yet.

 

Okay Maseace thanks for that

Best regards

I was told by the sales rep that since this is part of the hybrid system, it's covered under the hybrid components warranty. How true that is, I don't want to find out at this point in time, but it makes sense....

 

I wonder if rust killer would hurt the wiring if brushed on. It definitely kills corrosion and turns everything black in color....I would probably try some on a spot and see what happens.

 

Certainly the rusted mounting would benefit but would think twice about getting it near/0n the orange cable or connectors.
