What is common to ALL cars,motorhomes,boats and
trailers is the use of unprotected terminals and
butt connectors.They WILL corroed in time.About
2 weeks I saw a beautiful 12 volt conversion and
new wires with cheep terinals.It almost made me
cry.It is the perfect place for condinsation and
voltage drop. What to do?
1.You can buy adhesive lined shrinkwrapped term.
at most autosupply stores.Yes,they cost more,but
they are WATERPROOF.
I perfer to buy shrinkwrap in bulk.Use a lighter
or heat gun.
2.Remove the sparkplug wire on any new car and there will be grease in the cap.This is grease that will not stop electrial passing but will stop corrosion.It is called DIELECTRIC GREASE.
I use it on gen.,starter lightswitch studs and
push on connectors.
Redues a year later are a pain in the ---
3.NEVER buy the $1.50 roll of black tape.It WILL
start to unwrap in a year an not protect and also
look bad.Spend the $4.00 for GOOD tape please.

of great ideas in there electrical section.
It is always the little things that lateron that come back to bite you and drive you nuts.
