It is 12 volts. The main purpose is to keep moisture out. If it were 220 or 480 I can see not using a lot.
I'm just saying what I did and it worked, I will do a little more research but 12V is wimpy and cars/trucks drive through an array of temperature and moisture situations to extremes, I bet if we pointed a go-pro at that spot it gets hit by a stream whenever it rains.
It was a bad design that never got updated properly.
Thx, I understand !
The idea is to seal out the moisture not guarantee a good connection.
I read through a lot of the U-Tube Videos, a lot show no reluction in conductivity... no appreciable increase in resistance to the current path, so there is no reason not to do it the way you state you do.
I will be doing it your way, this time around, last time no Dielectric was used and it lasted about a month, funny. I ordered a Motorcraft Resistor Assembly and a Dorman Harness Pigtail, from Amazon, had some Gift Cash left over from X-Mas Gifts.
Hoping this time is the Charm, along with the Washer/Reservoir Tank,and the Vacuum Problem. It will be good to have the Heater Controls working correctly again... been four or five years.
Jim Thx for the input !
