[Peugeot-L] 505 SW8 glowing Alt light

This 92 SW8 ZDJL has the battery warning light glowing when I step on the brakes with the lights on. Its been like this for a LONG time. A relay or something would chatter under the glove box occasionally too and the "typical" starter click, click until it would catch.  This weekend we were cleaning the battery terminals and noticed the smaller pair of wires that go to 2 large connectors, after breaking open perfecly good connectors I was horrified to see the corrosion! The wires from the bat are just crimped to the connector (power distribution block?) and have turned to mostly dust!
 We spent the rest of the day cutting back and soldering, basically the wires are toast all the way back to the bat. Amazingly Peugeot says this cable assem. is still a good part #
Result is that all previous electrical weirdness is gone and the starter works the first time!

A very common complaint is the weak starter, click and nothing. George N.
