Hi,
I have electrical gremlins and reckon I need to give as many connectors as I can a good clean. Earlier I tried pulling the right indicator bullet connectors apart, but they seem to be somewhat rusted in place.
Is plus-gas safe on electrical connectors, will it affect the rubber in anyway etc? Naturally the battery is all unplugged but I wondered if there was any residue to be worried about, and if so, what alternatives there were to get the rust to break.
Thanks
What sort of Gremlins?
Whilst good preventive measures are recommended in ensuring the connectors don't deteriorate, it's equally true that jumping in with both feet could end up causing more problems, if you go disturbing perfectly good connections and don't get them back together properly.
Don't think that because a can of Spray has a Flammable Warning on the back that it applies to the residue, it's often relating to the propellant in the can being Butane.
I've got these 3 cans in the garage, only the K2 is a petrol like liquid that gives off flammable vapour at regular temperatures, it's about 11C outside at the moment.
Trust me, I just went out and tested all 3 and only the small quantity of K2 ignited.
