Double check to make sure you didn't forget to connect something or bump something loose.

It would be best to replace the rusted coils. It will happen again and it might leave you stranded somewhere far from home.

Moisture is making the metal rust. If you get new coils, put some dielectric grease on the metal connector and that will stop it from rusting.
