Default Cleaning Ground Plugs

When cleaning the ground plugs, should you unhook the battery first? I know one willhave to reset/train the key fobs but is there anything else to watch out for? Also has the front two ground connections on the rails normally been the main culprit on random error codes flashing on the dash?
Thanks in advance-

1) No. It is not necessary to disconnect the battery.
2) YES. The front two ground connections on the rails normally been the main culprit. Mine looked clean but I had to use a dentist pick to bend the clips to apply more pressure. More Power,More Power.

If you disconnect the battery and TheftLock is turned ON in your radio, you will need the radio code to get it to work again. Easiest to turn OFF TheftLock before disconnecting battery. There is a red LED on the radio that blinks slowly when the ignition is OFF if this feature is ON.
