Can di-electric spray be sprayed directly to the 7 pin cord on tt? I sprayed it on and several days later, as we hooked up to leave the CG, the tv trailer app said the tt was disconnected. After several minutes, it changed to connected trailer. Am I using this correctly?

Remember, dielectric means it is non-conductive so it may hinder good connection. It will also help prevent corrosion but if you want the very best connection, make sure it's clean and dry and the contacts are shiny.

WD-40 would be better. It's for electrical connections.

Have to respectfully disagree about the WD-40. It is terrible for attracting dirt and can hinder conductivity.For the best connection, the terminals should be CLEAN and DRY.

It is a terrible lubricant and does the bad things that the person I quoted states.
