I don't know about you, but I HATE those stupid plastic connectors which Yamaha has used to link multiple wires. Some you have to push down on a tab to release the catch, others you need to lift a tab *up* to release the catch...
But, whatever you have to do with them, they're an utter ba$$$$d to undo! :wall :wall :wall
So, has anyone used dielectric grease on them to help them release more easily?
I know the grease is non-conductive, but, when you push two connectors together, the grease gets "scraped off" between the metal contacts to ensure there is continuity.
Would putting it on those plastic connectors be a good idea?
PS: No, I'm *not* going to use Vaseline - a) it degrades any rubber it comes into contact with, b) it melts when it gets hot and c) it's petroleum based, so could, theoretically catch fire!! :eek
