Understanding Electrolysis Corrosion

Electrolysis Corrosion is:

a highly desructive reaction casued by the passage of electrical current through coolant which destroys its corrosion prevention properties.

It is a menace that attacks radiators and heaters and can destroy an entire engine within 12,000 miles of the corrosion starting.

It is most commonly caused when an electrical component or accessory somewhere in the vehicle loses ground, usually from a loose or broken wire. When electrical devices lose their normal electrical path to the chassis or battery ground the current seeks out any failure route. In most cases of radiator or heater failure loose or missing grounds can be traced to electrical cooling fans or relays. Another cause is bad ground wire from the engine to the chassis.
