[QUOTE="dcarver, post: 1439866, member: 956"] 5 wire recall switch, it's still good, smooth operation, no intermittent connections. Insulation shrinkage? I blame numerous heat cycles over the years. Other wires too have shown insulation shrinkology, even OEM. So it's not the first I've seen. Maybe the copper is getting longer? <:)> Those connectors were from Ace hardware. They appear to be solid but I've had trouble w other connections using the same product. No longer using them for anything but low power applications. Yes on dielectric grease. But even D grease gets hot, melts out, over time. Been using D-Oxit lately, it's good stuff, bonds at molecular level. It doesn't however, keep water out. I use a combination of both these days. Kinda ironic, last time tank was off thought "I should look at those connectors" followed by "Screw it, I'm tired and cranky, my back hurts, I'll do it next time." 😆 [/QUOTE]
