Which then led me to ask, is dielectric grease better applied to <i>assembled </i>components or to the <i>/all</i>components which are then assembled? I'd like to believe that dielectric grease won't block the flow of current or degrade the quality of a connection.

<div>Glad it worked out. I was
losing those instruments and devices intermittently among other issues.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Once I realized they were all on
the same circuit, with some manipulation and they would come back only to go
again. So I replaced the fuse box. This resolved about 95% of the
issues.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Corrosion is maybe too strong a
word - but oxidation will certainly occur over time and impact the
contacts.</div>

<div style="FONT-FAMILY:comic sans ms,sans-serif;COLOR:rgb(0,0,153)">Thanks, John. Your thought process on this is
quite good. It turned out that the problem was solved this afternoon, by
simply removing the fuse, lightly sanding its metal ends, then reinserting it
into the fuse clips! I knew <i>something</i> was quite there when I measured
zero volts on one end of the fuse and 12.65 on the other! Prior to that, the
heater fan, the turn signals, the wipers, the brake lights and the two gauges
didn't work. I re-inserted that fuse and it's like 20,000 volts into
Frankenstein's monster. It LIVES! Being as the fuse box is relatively new, as
are the fuses, it was hard to imagine (<u>or</u> <u>SEE</u>) <b>any
</b>corrosion that could cause such chaos! All from one green circuit fuse!
It's been a long tome since everything worked so having everything back at the
same time is like having a party with old, long-lost friends! LOL!<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div>
