Matthew's Auto Repair BlogFighting the Great Green MonsterIt's a good idea to treat any electrical connections that could be exposed to the elements. If left unprotected, they will surely develop a layer of corrosion that will make the connection fail. This may leave you without headlights or turn signals, and now you've got a safety hazard. Protecting electrical connections is fairly easy. All you need to do is keep the connections clean, and apply dielectric grease to the metal parts to keep moisture from coming into direct contact with them. Take good care of your electrical system and you shouldn't have any problems. I can't suggest putting dielectric grease on a burn, but it's probably at least as effective as butter, and you won't be stalked by hungry cats. photo of corroded trailer connection by Matt Wright, 2008 Sunday March 30, 2008 | comments (1) Display Latest Headlines | powered by WordPress |
