[Vwdiesel] OT Somewhat--diesel tractor

[Bryan Belman]

Are you kidding me, Die-electric greese is not conductive, that would 
explain why my rt. side reverse light keeps cutting out, I have it doused in 
that stuff.  I had it the other way my intire life ever since I used it on the 
shaft of a bug distributer, to lubricate the poits when they ride on it.
Make sense for there and I just figured you could use it for all electrical 
issues.

thanks, boy, do I feel dumb.
at my age, not knowing this.

I found the OEM battery ground cable, one of those woven copper versions, was 
corroded green throughout and starting in places to become brittle.  It would 
pass an Ohm meter continuity test, but not provide sufficient ground.
 
I made up a new ground cable using a section of the old ground cable off my '95 
Jetta diesel I'd had to replace because the battery end had broken and the extra 
ground spot in the middle was all greened up too.  Worked perfectly and it has a 
covering to maybe help slow future corroding.
 
Thanks for the responses.

  Thus DIE-electirc grease, makes the electicity die.  At least that was 
how 
I finally remembered whether it was a conductor or an insulator...
