How To Prevent Corrosion in Electrical Connections

Bad Electrical Connections

Your car has hundreds of electrical connections. These days, everything is controlled by some sort of electronic management. Each of these systems performs an important duty. Most of the electrical connections involved are well protected, but there are always a few that for one reason or another seem to be susceptible to corrosion. I can think of more than a couple of models that chronically developed leaks in the lower windshield trim that dripped water right on the fuse box. Not good.

If your car has an electical connection that is bad, or a connection that you think could be susceptible to corrosion due to its proximity to the weather (especially plugs that are used to connect trailer lights), there is a simple way to keep them from getting all mucked up.
