Better than a hole in the AC line on your Mrs brand new car the day before you are towing a caravan for 8 hours on a 40 degree day.
Ask me how I know.

So what’s the best thing to protect the cable lugs to the winch solenoid and winch motor from corrosion? Both end on my hi mount were pretty bad. All cleaned up now though.



I was thinking to use dielectric grease. Went to Jaycar yesterday and they didn’t know what it was. Lol.

I use to use this stuff all the time in my nerdy sub zero Vapo chilling computer days to stop condensation killing the computer.

I use a combo of the following Mark.
Lanotec and Inox MX3. Swear by it.
Not just elecy stuff that's weather prone , but everything in general. I've thrown CRC and wd40 in the bin years ago when I discovered this.

Then there’s the windscreen leak issue. Do it just silicone up the outer rubber and ignore that there is probably a rust issue? Or. Remove the windscreen and take the time to properly repair it? Which will take much longer to do.

Hey Mark had a read through your journey the trol has taken, well done mate! Did you sort the buzzing relay out? I had one do the same recently and it was as simple as cleaning the neg terminal earths to the body and engine. Your winch wires can be sealed after cleaning and re connecting wire liquid electrical tape like they do with marine wiring. There’s probably other products on the market but boat electronics in salt water corrodes fast so look at what they use to help with that situation.

Next time I see you I'll give you a tube of electrical corrosion inhibitior we use on tower lines... Ugly smelly heavy duty shit..We literally call it dog shit. Smeared some on my winch connections for years. No issues !

Still got the buzzing relay mate but I have found many others with the same thing with no resolve. The buzzing stops as soon as the vehicle is running, so it’s on the back burner for now.
