Holding tanks' electrical connection oxidation.
Holding tanks sensors’ electrical connections on my rig (just like on many others) are outside under the chassis and exposed. To reduce the amount of abuse those connections and wires take I’ve installed a mud flap on that side of the vehicle, it helps a little. It protects from the rocks and stops at least some mud. However, the connection points are still getting much water and everything else that comes from under the wheels from the road. Those connection points have absolutely no protection and screws are rusting. I’m sure that electrical contact will be lost soon due to rust. All this does not look right. I’d like to ask what people doing about this problem. I’ve thought of replacing screws with SS screws and covering those contacts with silicone grease every so often, but it most likely won’t stay there for any long time. Any other ideas?
Thank you.
