Would it makes sense to use dielectric grease also in the 12V socket fitted in my Ten? I can see that water can easily get it under the rain.
I've put in on/in every connector that I have had apart in the normal course of maintenance. There is also a thin smear inside my 12V sockets, and I have also applied a little to the base/contacts of all the bulbs that have been replaced on the bike too.

I wouldn't necessarily go mad and pull everything apart, just add some every time you break open a connector. Treat it the same way as you would copper grease on threads - whenever you take a bolt/screw out you put it back + copper grease.
