MK I electrical corrosion

[rapieper at yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

Dan, 

Caig Laboratories makes the good stuff, Deoxit, and variations on that theme.

Many years ago I got a sample kit and am just now running out so I save it for electronics, not electrics.

First, I'd try one of them very small stainless wire bottle brushes to clean the fusebox contacts.  Then apply the Deoxit.

I've consistently used silicon dielectric grease on contacts, crimps, bulbs, etc. with good results.  Get the big tube, it's cheap.  :)

I've run across a situation where the fuses in an 81 MK I will corrode over time and loose continuity. Twisting them restores the connection, but it's temporary.
Happens on MK II light sockets also.

I imagine there is some sort of electrical grease out there that will prevent exposure to the elements and the corrosion but don't know where to find it.

Anybody have a product name and likely place to buy it?
Thanks
Dan
