MK I electrical corrosion

[neptunonc at yahoo.com (Neptuno)]

David,
   
  2 years and 9 months of cat pee smell? Ouch...... I have actually seen and used the product that Brendan mention..... I can not remember for what? Or where so I have no reports on it, however I found it at the register area of the advance auto. Does the petrollum jelly trick not work on this?

  Hey Dan,

Radio Shack should be able to hook you up with some Contact Cleaner.
Years back, a cat got into my first GTI, and took a whiz on my fusebox,
which in turn caused the wipers to stop working, but only when I needed
them. It took me a good 9 months to figure out what the problem was, and by
then the contact were good and crusty. I sprayed some contact cleaner on
them, and they were good to go. It leaves an oily residue that is conducive
for electrical contact. I had that car another 2+ years and did not have
another issue at all.

I've run across a situation where the fuses in an 81 MK I will corrode over
time and loose continuity. Twisting them restores the connection, but it's
temporary.
Happens on MK II light sockets also.

I imagine there is some sort of electrical grease out there that will
prevent exposure to the elements and the corrosion but don't know where to
find it.

Anybody have a product name and likely place to buy it?
Thanks
Dan
