11 Volts is certainly a sign of a bad contact in the wire somewhere. But voltage alone does not indicate a corroded connection somewhere. Even with a very bad connection a wire that has no current flowing can show full battery voltage at the end. A bad contact along the wiring can cause that voltage to drop to zero when a lamp is attached and current is flowing. A voltage check should always be done with a working lamp in the circuit.
