alright guys I've had this problem today I'm actually gonna face the problem
let's go ahead and get started by the way check out this cool shirt bikes
direct sent me except for now I'm just gonna show you the issue something
happened they melted so we're gonna run up to Walmart get some stuff and then
I'm gonna go ahead and I'm going to fix this terrible terrible issue I don't
know if I'm supposed to maybe replace the whole plug I probably should but for
now it's still working the contacts are still making a connection it's still
powering my trailer so I figure I'm just gonna clean up the contacts but I don't
have anything to do that with so goin Walmart
ok Google take me to Walmart I'll go to a
hey I want to go to a thank you Google I heard you're getting sued hope
you lose I got here and I forgot my wallet coffee
I've been looking for that $2 not enough money let's get back home
please wait for assistant
hello my cat how are you doing precious little girl huh
too bad all right so we've got super fine steel wool and then we have this
electric cleaner this is CRC electric cleaner not exactly what I was looking
for but it looks like it will work so all we're gonna do is we're gonna spray
a little bit of this on it rub it down with this
and then hopefully it's all clean well let's let's try it out
plastic was stuck in the actual contact it's looking a whole lot there it is a
whole lot cleaner but still put a little bit more elbow grease into this all
right you see how much cleaner these are now they still definitely look like they
got damaged so I should probably replace them but I'm not going to mostly because
I'm lazy and they're still working but definitely something that you should
check yeah so I recommend cleaning your contacts after you should probably after
every place you stay at I don't but you should at least look at it when
something like this happens nip it in the butt do it right away and just don't
procrastinate but yeah this this still looks damaged so I'll probably need to
replace it sometime soon and I'll probably just need to chop this whole
thing off or buy a whole new cord but I'm not too too worried about it but it
is something that I'll haven't be thinking about in the future when I'm
not extremely broke oh yeah make sure before you plug in and before you unplug
your 30 amp plug or whatever your shore line make sure you turn off
the breaker first that's usually what causes this it's either a loose
connection a dirty connection or the fact that if you don't turn the breaker
on a lot of times it will arc when you go to plug it in if you already have
things that are on in your RV it will arc and then that was what damages and
destroys these freakin plugs and it definitely burns them it like if you can
tell the plastic down here is melted oh yeah another thing make sure there's no
residual cleaner you should let it try for at least a couple minutes prior to
plugging it back in
alright guys so that concludes today's DIY episode how to clean the contacts of
your power cord but you should also know that if that happens to you as badly as
mine is right now you should probably just go ahead and replace the plug I'm
just too lazy to do it so until next time guys subscribe to my channel if you
