Thread: Wiring Harness Disconnect

They use these on Mustangs...

The Mustang bulkhead connector picture brings up a good point...make
sure the connector is sealed well. Otherwise, the contacts will corrode and
you will be chasing electrical gremlins forever. Also, make sure the
cable end is secured somehow....the Mustang connector is retained by the rubber
jacket being a tight fit around the mating jacket.

If the connector you find does not have a retaining method, make a sheet metal
finger that holds the connector in place and secure the finger with a screw into
the firewall.

I use dielectric grease on every electrical connection including the base or socket on light bulbs, also use it on spark plug wire ends. This helps to seal moisture out which cuts down the corrosion problem.

So do I, but then about 25yrs ago I found a bottle of it at the Boneyard that was about the size of a quart oil bottle. The bottle is still over half full & like yourself Mike I use it on everything including nuts & bolts since it also can be used as an anti-seize....joe
