So I've had issues with the door locks/4wd/heater fan over the past few years, as well as a drain on the battery that would run it dead within a week. Thought it was the GEM, so I finally made myself pull the fuse block/GEM out today. However, when I popped the GEM circuit board out of the case it was immaculately clean and dry! Looking in the bottom of the fuse block though, I saw it - that powdery blue telltale sign of water getting in and corroding the plates.
Fast forward past the dismantling and cleaning, and here we are with it:
Panels are numbered in order, so putting it back together (hopefully)won't be an issue. My question however, is how can I seal it all up to keep water out for good now? I've considered silicone dielectric grease, silicone spray, even silicone caulk. But then I don't want to create a fire hazard by slathering the wrong thing on these plates. Any idea what would be the best thing to use? Thanks in advance!
