The tape may not be the best way to go.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Pull the connectors apart and coat them with dielectric grease. It will prevent the pins from shorting out if water gets in there again.
&nbsp\\;
I would do both with the goal being not to let water inside the connector if at all possible.&nbsp\\; Water is still a conductor so enough of it can still cause a short even with the grease so I wouldn't depend on the grease entirely.&nbsp\\; The grease is more to prevent corrosion in the event water does get in I believe.
