Hi All,

   FWIW department:  Since the time that Ford came out with
computerized engine controls, the connectors have been filled  with
dielectric grease.  Every auto parts store has the stuff.  The Ford part
number is D7AZ-19A331-A   It isn't cheap, but a 3 oz. tube might
very well be a lifetime supply for most of us.

   I'm only guessing, but I'd guess that a dollop of the stuff in each
connector would pretty much preclude corrosion of the pins.  I'm
not running yet (test stand) but that's what I'm doing.

OK Group I must make a comment aboout dilectric grease. This stuff works well but be carefull with it. Ford ran into a problem, that later resulted in a recall. The production line guys were filling up the connectors to the tank mounted fuel pumps with the dilectric grease. The result was the ring (outside) terminal was being forced open hydraulically. This circuit like the ignition is a high current connection. The terminal would arc when hot which burned the unfused power circuit to the pumps! What kind of idiot designed that is beyond me. The resulting fires (plural) force them to do a investigation and the culprit turned out to be the diletric grease. The problem wasn't that the grease was bad, rather the opposite. it did it's job so well it caused a different problem. Use the stuff in moderation and you should be fine.

PS Yes I had a Mustang with the problem. Gave it back using the lemon law in California. Long story.
