Hi, Husabutt....
Have lived up here in Maine for 42 years, came from SoCal.; have used dielectric grease in most of our vehicles, and in all of the connections on my '98 fc since my son-in-law dropped it on my front porch back in 2001. Also work with a contractor installing Fisher snowplows and Salter/Sanders; we put dielectric on every connection we can find. The more permanent connections we put a piece of shrink-tube over as well. Keeps out the nasty deicing compounds they use up here.

Yep, or down under here we have a product called Lanotec, an aerosol package, which is sheep wool grease (lanolin), is very good and available in a few different consistencies. I use this on all electrical connectors. It is rated to 70kV. Good stuff and much cheaper than the silicone based products and supports our local farmers too. Even smells nice, and is good on the hands.

I did my entire bike a few days ago...every wire and connection and battery terminals. I am sick and tired of electrical problems in my rainy salty environment. I used the aersol spray (LPS) and for the serious stuff finger applied grease from the tube. Aersol is OK but it takes a good many sprays to get a decent coating.
