Dielectric grease is an insulator and you would not think it would be good for electrical connections. But it is because the greases is squeezed away from the actual mechanical connection while the metal parts of the connector remain coated, protecting everything from oxidation.

I stumbled upon this useful explanation of VWs Digifant system (applicable to 86-91 Vanagons)

Most of the information applies to us, although there are some minor errors in his write-up when pertaining to Vanagons.

Interesting how he is a fan of Stabilant 22, a "dielectric grease" for electrical connections.
