Default Replace Circuit breakers
I am going to replace the 4 circuit breakers on my 1991 Sporty. My question is; should I use some type of grease on the on the connection to keep them from corrosion? Any suggestions? I was thinking using white lithium grease in the spray can?

Thanks

Use dielectric grease. Available at any auto parts store.

When I changed out mine on my '93, I went with a Namz fuse block to change over to blade style.

Do NOT use lithium grease! Only the dialectric grease. It is also white that is probably why you thought lithium would work.
