It makes for a very good electrical connection because it conducts electricity. If you put it on a multi-connector plug it can cause electrical shorts where there were none before. When you apply it, make sure to thoroughly wipe off any excess from the plug. Connect the two halves then pull them apart again and see if any more excess squeezed out and clean it up. I learned this on my Rabbit when I was trying to figure out a balky rear window defroster. Had my brake lights short to another connector and thence to ground. Use this stuff sparingly. Jack" ===================== UHhhhh -- sorry folks. By definition, dielectric grease is a non-conducting material (at least for direct current and any "low" frequency alternating currents). harvey.
