I would say it all depends on if the grease is conductive. I've got a
relay block pulled from donor mini-van (or something) at the local
pull-it-yourself lot, that I use in my Jeep to drive the fuel pump. All
the connections on the back side of the relay block have a similar light
colored grease. i suppose it is there to prevent corrosion of the
connectors.
In the case of a weather-pack, I agree, I thought they should be dry.
But it could very well be some of the same kind of moisture preventative
grease. I dunno.
fwiw. . . you can buy brand new weather-pack connectors at Napa, crimp
and install yourself. I put a ton of them in the Jeep when I swapped
engines, installed the Holley Pro-Jection and Crane ignition. Made it
all look stock. The guy at emissions didn't even blink when he opened
the hood. A 1967 engine in a 1982 Jeep, ahhhh, life is good.
BTW. I found my Holley Pro-Jection troubleshooting guide. Used it
today, determined it -is- the ECU, ordered a new one from Summit today.
