hit the wires up with an ohm-meter, I forget how much resistance you should read with both ends disconnected... I'll check the chiltons in a minute the white shit could be a number of things, 1st thing that pops into my mind is corrosion.

Yup...by any chance did they come in contact with battery acid?
