Message: <blockquote data-quote="frankroche" data-source="post: 201032" data-attributes="member: 4759">Well after 33 years the switch had no corrosion, A search on diaelectric grease yielded the following;"Dielectric grease can also be applied to the metal parts of virtually any electrical connection that will be exposed to the elements to serve as a sealant that protects the connection from contamination and corrosion. This should be done very carefully, as the grease will cut off the flow of electricity through the connection if some of it is left between the mating surfaces." The switch is mounted upside down and has drain holes in the handlebar housing, and I don't think grease of any kind will help as the switch is plastic with two springs, two contacts and four contact points and grease holds dirt. I think it will last another 30+ years!</blockquote>
