how do you clean connections

cjm · 01-04-2001, 08:51 AM

I'm using a used harness & computer for an engine swap that I'm doing. Have read about the problems caused by bad connections. What is the best way to clean the connections? should I use a dielectric grease on the connections?

Go to your auto parts store and they should have something called electrical parts cleaner. Spray it on there, then use compressed air to blow it out. Now just put some dielectric grease on the pins, or in the female end and connect it.

Will it be ok to spray the cleaner in the computer connections?

yes i highly recremend using dielctric grease on all ur connnections and spark plug wires..it will save ur connections in the long run(corrosion), and keep mosture out, while keeping the connections from getting stuck 2gether
