[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1381942, member: 3187"] It's an important component, it it fails it will almost certainly stop the engine. Having said that, I believe it's a sealed unit (I could be wrong) in which case just a good cleanup of its contacts and application of a suitable anti-corrosion substance - many views on what that should be, I'd be happy to use any of petroleum jelly (Vaseline), copper impregnated grease (usually used for brake applications), lithium based grease (usually used for bearings etc) ... Even with a new one, you probably have corrosion within its connector to deal with, and you should certainly protect its connections. While you're in there, check all those earth "spiders". [/QUOTE]
