Default Need Help

Hey guys, i was driving down the road yesterday going about 45m.p.h. and all of a sudden the battery light and brake lights came on, then it felt as if the car lost power like 3 times within a second of eachother, then you could feel it go back on and jump forward. This only happend when i was accelerating, but it was fine in park and idling....i dont know what it is...i know that the battery terminals were badly corroded so i cleaned them off...haven't tested that yet....could this be the problem...???

Battery terminals can cause those symptoms ... The White fusible links on the + terminal also can corrode and cause similar troubles

My thoughts are the same. Also check your alternator connections from the alt. to the fuse box, to the battery.
