Jen,
Your autoparts store will have something called "Dilectric Grease"
The stuff is whitish/clear, and almost looks like Vaseline. But of course,
it isn't! It is made specifically to prevent corrosion in electrical contacts
which are exposed to the elements... A small amount will do it, so a tube
will last a very long time.
