The Katzman asked - Would it hurt to put dielectric grease on all the
electrical contacts in 
the dash and engine compartment? As in the headlight control switch. Does it
cause much of a voltage drop between conductive materials? What I see from
searching the web is that it works well with tight connections. Here's one
URL: http://www.brickboard.com/ARCHIVES/1998JAN/7808.shtml Curious as to
what applications do and don't work.

I try to make it my SOP to put dielectric grease on after a soild contact is
made. even after a soldered contact. I don't know if it would interfere with
contacts but I know it really protects a contact over time from water and
corrosion. On reading your link, (looks like a good link to keep! Thanks!)
It would appear that you would not want the grease between the contacts.
