Is using diaelectric grease a bad idea for any reason? I'm a big fan of the stuff. I've found it reduces new corrosion significantly,

I just spray everything with a diaelectric silicone lube like WD40. It protects without trapping too much dirt. Worked like a champ on my 14 pin connector and my other grounds. Quick and easy using the red extension spray tube. I also spray just about everything rubber to keep it from drying out.

On my 82 I don't see a good way to get to the ones on the front right near the headlight arm, looks like it would be m2 in the first drawing. Anyone have a good idea as to the best way to reach them without tearing the front of the car off?
Thanks-Mike
