Midlife 814 Report post Posted August 3, 2020 I used to use dielectric grease, but converted to using Boeshield T9 as a metal protectant against corrosion. 1 Mach1 Driver reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To me they looked clean, didnt appear to have rust. But I used wet/dry paper on all contacts plus used dielectric grease. Problem gone. Just took it for a nice ride. NO cut out with turn signals or with the reverse lights. Thank you guys! Makes the cruise that much better! And its still Candy Apple Red! Awesome news! Great detective work.

dream car 12 Report post Posted August 4, 2020 Try NO-Ox-ID special electric contact grease, improve conductivity and fight corrosion. 1 Mach1 Driver reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, my 69 convertible is also Candy Apple Red. It sucks the juice right out of my checking account, but it is worth it. Stick with the red! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralt962 11 Report post Posted August 6, 2020 Sorry it doesn't say dielectric grease. But it is a Silicone grease. So how ever I put it in must have rubbed off enough to make good contact. But that was the issue and at this point I dont want to touch it. But some time this summer I'll pull it and wipe it down to see if it made a difference. you are absolutely right about non conductive. I'll wait until after the Dream Cruise, or this year the non Dream Cruise. I'm about 40 minutes from there. I'm sure it will be good just no Corp tents.
