- Its not going to cause a short. I have been using this stuff for about 20 years with no failures. The dielectric grease has micro particles of iron filings in it to conduct electricity. Works great

- That's an oxymoron. "Dielectric" means "insulator". An insulator can't cause a short. The contacts push the dielectric grease out of the way at the point of contact. The dielectric grease surrounds t

- Use a little dab of conductive grease on the terminals for your trailer connection and that should take care of the corrosion problem. Just be sure it says "conductive" on the packaging - and you do
