grease inside fuse box connector

The dielectric grease seals it up and prevents corrosion. Just looking for a non melting dielectric grease, fairly common for this application. The old brown gook seems to really last. Im not sure how other company's or newer style fuse panels seal up the weather side of there fuse boxes can only tell you that the classic update harnesses from AAW do not have any sealer in them. Im thinking about some long haul trips eventually and Im sure there will be rain/water potentially in this area.

AAW is a vendor here. Call them and I would think they could give you some info.

Wouldn't you install a blanking plug into those open holes ? I've seen the weatherpack style plugs. They should be available from the vendor/manufacture of the component. Contact AAW like Chad said

already contacted them., all they said is that its a GE product, didn't want to give me the product name I guess. did some searching but couldn't find a product name.

No biggy, Ill find something suitable to seal it up.

Thanks Rich

Rich -- The reason I was asking is that sometimes if others know what you're trying to do - they can offer an alternative suggestion.

Now we know! LOL

You don't want to use some silicone sealant?

I have used the permatex stuff and works pretty good, that brown stuff is great! If you find it post it up, I use it on our motorhome battery and boats and that kind of stuff
