Coating your sensors to protect from water/mud?

[Yodwinder]

In the past month and a half I have went through two TPS's. I know I can coat my sensors with dielectric grease, but I don't really know what kind/where to get it?

What do you guys use?

Also, I used some permatex gasket sealer on the seam of the new TPS, think that will hold up?

I've never had a problem with that but i'd think you could just use a silicone spray

That should work. Use just enough to seal it. not so much that it runs inside there and onto the sensor. If water can't get in, it can't affect the sensor.

Oh but ya it is a good idea to put some grease on the sensor itself for sure

Dielectirc grease is your best bet. You can pick up a can at your local parts house for around $8-$9. Do every connection that you can get your hands on including plug wires. Dont go too crazy with the amount, because too much can often effect connections...................
