Right you are Roger:
And when it comes to "INSPECTION" of electrical connections - Especially
Grounds - LQQKing at them is NOT inspecting. You must Remove them, Clean
them and Replace the Star Washer. And then if you are really good, Coat
them with Dielectric Grease or Paint... This keep moisture from starting
the corrosion process all over again.
You cannot see the corrosion all the time but, you sure can see the effects.
